well decided to start a discussion of the politician and revolutionary, partially because I am fond of what I heard about him back when I was in school, but the information was sparse at best.
1. Was he really going to try and build a more egalterian south america
2. What are his positive and negative impacts
3. hell just an open discussion of the figure.

Re: Simone Bolivar
"Simone Bolivar (1788-1840), little-known sister to the famous South American revolutionary Simon Bolivar, spent her time engaged in high level diplomacy, consolidating Latin American territory in the wake of her brother's victories, uniting fractious local leaders until she tragically ceased to exist, requiring her brother to go back and do it all over again."
The man is a major figure in South American history whose actions resonate even today, especially in Venezuelan politics. Books have been written about him. Articles have been written about him. Webpages have been written about him. And with all that information out there, waiting to be read, you come here to say "Hey guys let's talk about this major figure in world history and by the way I'm not going to post anything myself or even ask questions with some actual direction." The WPA put it best:
(Locked for zero-content OP. Bring this topic back when you've got something to say about Bolivar.)
