Beautiful site!

Meriam,

Take heart...Sr. Neves has to look forward to his day in front of the Supreme Court, headed by a woman.

As to causes....it is pretty uniform across Latin America that men have historically had a priviledged status relative to women. Cultural things tend to change very slowly, but they are slowly changing in the right direction. Chile is today a fine example of how far some have come.

Sami:

Best wishes for the Brazilian women.

Terrorism. I guarantee that it is really ture about what I said and strongly protest the terroristic activity.I would like to say that a nano-chip was implanted into my brain secretly via foods by Fa lungong group supported by US governement. Because the chip can detect my vocal cords vibrations even a tiny vibration when I think,and the chip turn those vibrations into words, so it can read my mind. Also, they send wireless signals to the chip, I can hear that terroristic voice. I know that nano-chip was invented by NASA. The chip can be implanted into brains via foods and drinks they have,and it can read mind at everywhere. This terroristic activity impinges my rights and freedom and good social order.If the technology is used to make terrorism or the chip is implanted secretly into the brains of senior officals,reporters and businessmen, as a result,the situation will be terrible, military serects, personal privacy, and personal passwords will be revealed. Finally,I hope you can help me remove the chip from my brain.Thank you.
