=09Ricardo - i like this quote of yours a lot - and like you i
have learned a great deal from the discussions here on XMCA. and it has
been especially helpful for me to hear the multiple voices of our planet.
thank your.
=09one of the strengths of XMCA has been its willingness to discuss
and put out ideas (even -half-baked ones like mine are accepted).

=09i think it interesting that Brazilian media has emphasized the
neo-nazi aspect - particularly in the face of their own violence as you
have described it. perhaps it is a way of distancing themselves from the
violence, as if to say that it can't happen in Brazil.
