Hi there.

There are things that can really amaze me. Yesterday I was reading some news on the web about the United Nations (http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/politics/politics-un-council-reform.html), and there I read:

======
In Latin America, Brazil by sheer size is a logical candidate but Argentina and Mexico are not so sure. Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country in a Hispanic continent.
=======

What's the point? Have those guys ever taken a look to the map of the continent? Can't they see that that "Portuguese-speaking" country represents HALF of the continent? Neither they can see the size of population down there??? Tsc, Tsc....
