Good work (...) I sugest a new section about soccer, or sports in general.

Today I read the article about Flavia Virginia at Brazilianist and like it very much (...) Flavia Virginia's voice is wonderful and she is a pretty woman.

Fear of Tragedy and Frustation: (...) Since the reestablishment of democratic principles in Brazil, after the end of the military dictatorship, the current government is the first one to promise (...) deep changes in the legislative, judiciary, and executive powers (...) It would indeed be a great tragedy and frustration (...) if an assassination (of the president) were to happen, mostly now, that we are living this unique and rare moment of hoping for real changes in our country, and we were to lose the greatest and most courageous leader of the elected party, whose voice has echoed the people’s protests against the situation of 54% of the population living under the poverty line, according to UNESCO’s statistics, March 2000.
