It's a horrible country to live in. Violent criminals abound. Did you know there are more murders in Brazil in a year than in the US/Canada/ the EU/Russia combined? It's amazing what almost 40 years of right wing military dictatorship can do to a culture. You should watch "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam. It's a caricature of what Brazil became with some 1984 thrown in. >but American idiom gives native Americans trouble as well. Well, you don't have many good public schools. And people can no longer afford private tutors... []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 Google Fuchsia - 2021
