However, the show can not stop.

Good point.

That was my biggest concern when I voted for Lula. I was afraid that Brazilian science would be much neglected. Lula does not understand the importance and implication of developing basic science in Brazil. However, I had some hopes.

Giving food to people helps to resolve the hunger suffering by millions of children in Brazil now but this should be done while education would be extensively applied all over our population; the government cannot continue in giving the fish indefinitely, we need to teach the people to fish for themselves.

Brazil needs to train more and more people in the areas of science and technology, for example and mainly, if we want to develop our country to the level of other industrialized countries.

Unfortunately, Brazil does not have a strong scientific tradition even with the fact that we have many descendants from countries with more scientific cultural background, for instance Italy, German, Japan, etc. Moreover, by the fact that the gross of our population does not understand along with Lula the meaning and value of scientific research, our president is resting politically in safe grounds with his policies of neglecting our scientific institutions. He will not lose anything personally and politically but only our future as a strong nation.

It is interesting to remain that is not lula who give the cards in Brazil, but the empresarial power.
He is not guilty for the science negligence of brazil, unles he where the real president of the country.

Shouldn’t Lula then start taking the role of real president in this case? Or he is forfeiting his role to the business enterprise power? What happened to this PT member with socialist ideas?

Anyway, he is responsible for fomenting the growth of science in our country. No excuse. Don't you believe?

As a computer programmer - my minor was computer 'science' - I can say that Lula is a world leader admired by many who are in this field. Brazil is quite famous in this regard. There is an impressive software livre convention in Porto Alegre every year, with a wide range of international speakers. Also, creative commons' is prometed by none other than Giberto Gill.

Of course, its easy to critisize via guest comments. Fire away, palhaços!

Babaca,

So, you know how to criticize the guests comments via guest comments. How interesting. It is very easy indeed, even for you.

"I can say that Lula is a world leader admired by many who are in this field. Brazil is quite famous in this regard"

How can you say that? Point to us journals, magazines or articles that you know stating that conclusion, if you know any at all. Or you came up with such a conclusion all by yourself or, maybe yet, your computer told you that.

I think you should stick to your "science". You are delusional.

I bet you do not know even how to program your VCR.

Oi biche gay, Can't read can we?

You must be cum drunk - so much in your eyes obscuring reality.

this article just demonstrate...another scandal....hidden as all the others....

But nobody is talking anymore about the greatest of all scandal.....the money laundering involving USD 32 billion (yessss.....billions....not millions) that your lawmakers decided not to pursue.....at the end of 2004 !!!!!!!!
Normal ! Right ? Because your lawmakers are politicians...and 91 politicians were named in that lawsuit !!!

So totally normal that they cover....each other....regardless of their political party.....as most if not all....were involved one way or another !!

Good luck to you....brazilian people ! We love you so much.

Your lawmaker not only legitimize the freeze of Allocated funds.....they
even legitimize the people involved in this big money laundering scandal...by telling you "dont touch the big money launderers that we are.
We have taken this money illegally. Now by law...this is our money....not longer citizen's money."

Since last december, nobody, not even the press is talking or writing about it !!!!!

Do they have a reason ?????????????
