Dmitry,

>over 9000 (!!) people were reported killed in Sao Paulo in 1999!

You're right, the situation in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is out of control, and murders occur in a dramatic daily basis. That's injustifieble.

We, brazilian citizens are very concerned with the situation of poor comunities in our country and elsewhere, that's why we feel very outraged with our authorities AND worldwide's.

Despite the lack of governments we organize ourselves in groups to help, the way anyone of us can afford to diminish the suffering of our poor fellow citizens

Think we all should open our mouths and speak to the world about those facts.

I thank you very much for your care about poor people in Brazil, I really apreciate.

Regards,

Fernando
