Stephen, Thanks for the email. Yes, things are bad in here and it appears that it will get worse before getting better. I live in Niteroi, neighbor city of Rio. Just a 20 minutes ride from here to there where I work. My parents are from São Paulo which is their own criminal nightmare in itself. Rio has a really odd landscape/topography with the city at sea level and the slums on the hills and small mountains, makes everything hard.
Our new president is an ex-guerrilla fighter who kidnapped U.S. Ambassadors in exchange of liberty for political prisioners, she is also very hard to deal with according to my girlfriend who is a journalist. I don't like the new president, almost cried when she got ellected but hey, there were worse options... damn this country will get crazy the next four years... Not enough people know about Rio and Brazil in "Real Life", all they know is old Hollywood stereotypes. If they knew that here in Rio, the violence already killed more than the vietnam war then they would think twice about calling this a peaceful place. At least now they are seeing on TV that it is a war, finally, after 30 years someone is telling the truth. Eeek! the army just deployed 800 soldiers in Rio right now, things are about to get ugly... :-/ Well, I will be at the next conference, it will be good to have some days of this whole situation. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
