Only an insolated and complacent American could think this. Imagine
your were born in Brasil. At your age, Morris, the election of Lula
would be the first time a military dictator did not control your life.
Dilma, a women who fought the military dictator, was tortured and
imprisoned, is now democractically elected President. She, and Lula,
and her Worker's Party, have lifted 50 million people, that is 20% of
the population out of abject poverty. There is a new working class in
Brasil. I can list doezens of other examples. Only an isolated and
ignorant American would faiol to see that the corporate vote is, while
essentially  an enemy of democracy, not the end of individual rights
and freedoms. These are on the march around the world. Don't you read
the papers? Time magazine?
