***When I first read this I almost died laughing. Looks like now that Obama has taken the lead in the polls, he has figured out how to potray Hillary as though she is running a very negative campaign. Even if you don't like Obama, you have to respect the brilliance of his political stratagy. Karl Rove would be proud***

Scrap metal exports banned in Jamaica
I was suprised to see that Jamaica has gotten tired of people stealing their infastructure and has decided to temporarily ban all metal exports. Man, I'm telling you, this problem is huge and only getting worse.

Copper and the poor
There is an interesting phenomenon going on in the world that very few people are talking about. People are stealing copper left and right. They usually sell them to a scrap dealer. Appearently due to the increased demand for copper from China, the price of copper has almost doubled, leading more and more people finding it worth it to take the risk of trying to steal copper from anywhere they can including potentially deadly electrical substations. In places like the Dominican Republic, they are shipping out more copper than they buy every year. Over a year ago, there was a huge warehouse fire in New York that was caused by two homeless men trying to burn the plastic covering off of a copper wire. This is a problem that will only increase as the prices rise.

Brazilian Politics
I found great website for Brazilian Politics. I believe it's mostly opinions but it's still good to read about the comings and goings of Brazil.
