brazil has a new female president - dilma rousseff. seems that she is of bulgarian descent and their whole country commemorted when she won. kinda fun to have that connection. ana told me that the current presdient, LULA, has cut poverty by 60%. the reason that brazil is one of the countries that is NOT going thru a recession is that we have, for the first time ever, a middle class. and this middle class has buying power. the good news is that rouseff says she will continue to fight until the last 40% of brazilians are not living below poverty. we need to get rid of illiteracy too.
i am watching the news and north and south korea are at war - Marc is there - this is scary. i so love my son so much. please Lord, take extra special care of him. north accuses south of attacking first. 1953 marked the end of the korean national war.china has asked both sides to remain calm. apparently they support the communist north. Barrack Obama says that he will support south korea. th is is being classified as the most serious incident since cease fire in 1953 without a peace agreement.
