To me it does not make a difference any more, a 2 star (or a 4 star) General in the US army, then a politician in France or Brazil or a leader in China , the Vatican, Japan, Russia or Germany the corruption is everywhere and we need to make a stand. The net seems to help but with all the regulations that are being proposed for the net , that may not last long either!

As a western person I have always been under the impression that the elderly were revered in Asia, has that changed so much in the last generation? ( It seems to be happening all over the world btw not only in Asia)

As for the people that think we are an influence on the weather re CO2 your are kidding right less then 2000 years ago there was a warm period (during the Roman empire) then there was a cold period before the industrial revolution. The whole thing is a cycle and we puny humans no matter how powerfull we think we are have very little influence!

I am not saying it is par for the course for Central and South America but it is going to take years to fix their problems if ever Seeing that the western nations are now subject to same internal destruction those countries suffered for generations. It was not always so. Argentina, Brazil Chile and others were way better off in the 30's 40's and 50's until the communists destroyed them.!
