This article is important for people to read and understand. A friend of mine teaches theatre in the university/resort town of Salvador Brazil. He wrote me an email saying this:

Demonstrations have both been exciting and scary. There are lots of curious items:

Why didn't the national guard react when "vandals" were attacking the Palace of Foreign Affairs? The police have been cracking down on demonstrators but the movement doesn't give signs of dying down. I marched yesterday but just for a few kilometers. Later the police lashed out on the same group with which I had been a couple of hours before.

However, from this moment on, the Brazilian parasites, who are our worst enemies, will have to change. People DEMAND the end of corruption, political reformation, transparency and all those sorts of things that our government have grown used to sneaking away from. The battle has only started.
