Will Rio be able to show to the world that it is a civilized city with a civilized populace I have my doubts. Its always lots of song and dance and zero results. Too many Cariocas can only live for the moment and turn away from a future they fear. They live in a society that is hopelessly divided between the African mindset and European rational ---a very sad situation with no real positive outcome. Give it back to the Indians--the real Brazilians!!! I have lived in Brazil for over 15 years now and despite an endemic culture of corruption and violence the beautiful Mata Atlantica still survives.
