DUers - please teach me about Simon Bolivar.
I get conflicting reports. I doff my cap to the folks here to inform me and make it possible for me to make an informed decision about the man.

2. I tend to trust the DU peole over other sources - didn't mean to anger you
Maybe I'm too trusting. I'll go elsewhere to look it up but I was looking for the DU opinion. Geez!

It was just a joke :P

Haven't you seen those "Dew U" commercials?

Honestly, I don't know much about the guy... but I always turn to Wikipedia for all human knowledge.

3. DU U Lit syllabus here!
"The General in His Labyrinth" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez -- terrific novel all about Bolivar.

For truer truth, of course, one always turns to the storytellers:
