People in Brazil really does not care much about Brazil's history or "history heros", indeed, I do think the ceremony will be more about the future of the "once sleeping giant" than about the past, specially the Portuguese part of it.
Sorry about that, but people in Brazil is really not proud about Portuguese heritage, specially due slavery and exploration of natural resources...

We are curious about our history, but not exactly proud of it.

I'm not fluent in Brazillian History but from what I know they should'n be ashamed of it, it's not as proud or significant as English, French or Portuguese History but it should be celebrated as well, even Slavery was important, Brazil would be a totally different country today if it haven't had slavery, the music, culture and brazillian way of being would be completely different.

But here's why I feel good about 2012. Were taking over Blue States


Actually, there is a big backlash against Republicans coming soon, every special election since the Midterms in 2010 has gone in favour of Democrats, and the favourability rating of the Republican Party is in it's lowest in history, they are appearing bickering and partisan with this whole debt mess.

The problem with the Republican party is that they were taken hostage by the Tea Baggers lunatics, they are extremists, and that doesn't sit well with the independents that decide the elections.
