It would look like paradise compared to what they allow the poor in their own country to continue to live in. People live in/on the garbage dumps. Entire generations are born, live, and die there, never having a chance for education, good health, or anything like that. But Brazil is touted as the "new" eco-power in the West.<br /><br />We created the homeless problem in this country when we closed the mental health facilities years ago and gave people the "option" of living outside the care environment. But at least we don't call garbage dumps "towns" and require people to live that way because it's their lot in life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-85074944240114560442011-02-04T11:11:32.336-05:002011-02-04T11:11:32.336-05:00Birds of a feather --- Brutalists flocking to Brut...Birds of a feather --- Brutalists flocking to Brutalists. <br /><br />And, of course, you have your make-believe $200,000 a year RA "CEO" right there in the middle -- self-serving as ever.<br /><br />PS -- nice Brutalist carpet the RA got for itself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
