Brazil--bloody elections, leaning right
robert angel:
Looks like the next leader of Brazil might be the right wing candidate Jair Bolanaros, who has expressed nostalgia for the military dictatorship that lead Brazil from the mid 60's, the 70's on into the mid 1980's.
Seems like a worldwide trend.
Bolanaros in the hospital recuperating from a stabbing that occured while he was campaigning last month. It's said the knife went into his intestines 4.7 inches and that he lost 40% of his blood..
The last president, Dilma Rouuseff, was impeached, but she's running for the senate
Another former president - - Brazil's most popular politician, imprisoned on corruption charges, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, on Tuesday ended his legal battle to run for the top office and supported Bolanaros closest opponent, who wasn't that close.
It will go to a run off.
What a mess.
Brazil is the world's 9th economy -- larger than Canada's (10th) and Russia's (11th)

Ok, Mudd, I will present this to you:
This is when we were travelling to Uruguay and up until then none of us had any problems with them. So we spend the day in the country's largest city and EVERYONE is rude to us. It wasn't until the six of us were comparing notes that we realized we had all come to the same conclusion - we hate these people!
Meanwhile on the same trip we spent the day in Mexico City and everyone was great - kind and helpful. All of our interactions were pleasant and we loved the city.
So what conclusions are you going to draw about the Brazilians and the Mexicans at least as displayed in Sao Paulo and Mexico City?
