Re: [Really-OT] Rio is at a state of war

Folks, Thanks for all the kind words and offers of prayers and housing. It is wonderful to know that I have such good friends. The "Rio Against Crime" operation is a success. Both shantytown complexes were taken back by our goverment forces. Military presence will stay there for more seven months

I agree with Andre that it is all about wise investments in human capital. The details as to how to do that, though, are very challenging. On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 5:31 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > I'm always glad to see you write, Andre, because it reassures me you are > okay. > > CNN had a brief

Re: [Really-OT] Rio is at a state of war

I'm always glad to see you write, Andre, because it reassures me you are okay. CNN had a brief report on Rio two days ago, and our newspaper here has started to do coverage. Yesterday there was a half-page article, which was quite a lot here, considering we are complacent Americans and Brazil

Bob, heehehehe thanks for the emails and no, Brazil is not a big jungle as people tend to think. Actually it is not like the FARC that can hide in the jungle for decades, here they hide in plain sight inside the slums. And no, elimination will solve nothing. Elimation is not the answer for it cre

I think Brazil's countryside is jungle. I could be wrong, but if I am not, it probably is not a whole lot safer for anyone not accustomed to it. Bob On Nov 26, 2010, at 10:53 AM, Jonathan Lynch wrote: > It seems like people would move out to the countryside, under situations > like what is de

Re: [Really-OT] Rio is at a state of war

Actually, we have this on a smaller scale in Arizona, but the major media companies don't seem to think it newsworthy. There are large tracts of land along the Arizona border that are off limits to Americans because drug cartels have infested them. They are escorting slave labor through corridor

Re: [Really-OT] Rio is at a state of war

Wow. It never ceases to amaze me what really newsworthy stuff never gets past our liberal media. I am willing to bet that the major media outlets here in the US never puts this out, at least not until the internet blogs are all over it. But never mind that, may God watch over and protect you and

Folks, This is just a heads up plus me needing to vent it out. Rio de Janeiro is in a state of un-assumed war for a week now. Criminal factions are trying to spread terror by burning car, buses and whatever they can on the street, sometimes without giving any warning to those inside. We're living
