I read that the protests continue in Brazil. I can't blame them for a second. While Brazil [re]builds unfinished football stadiums the infrastructure in the poorer parts of the country declines further. It is even impacting upon the wealthier, so their noses are being put out of place too. Nevertheless, Brazil is a football mad country, so it is said by the rest of the World's sport media [so it must be true], even if many Brazilians have had enough.
Of course, the tragic street urchins of Brazil are still completely forgotten. Often orphaned or badly abused by parents before running away to join new companions in the sewers, these kids actually manage to grow up and not automatically turn to crime, even though that is the earliest and easiest temptation to make life a little less than dreadful. If the protests do anything, I hope those little kids get some light shone on their plight.
