Things are getting hairy down there. If this thing passes they are going to explode. Our congress is probably taking notes on this bill though.

That will not end well (and as an aside, Gil, Veloso, and Buarque have to be the three biggest surviving names in modern Brazilian music, and I believe all were exiled during the 1964-85 ditadura militar.) There are many Brazilians with vivid memories of those days and even more with memories and experiences with the Direitas Já movement that ended it. In my experience they take democracy seriously because of it - despite, as in most countries today, there being a large anti-democratic faction (of course I know you know all this, @Hank_Hill - are those the thoughts of your partner's family there as well?)
