POPSLife without Parole at Age 16 I got to know about Sarah's case from a facebook friend (Thanks Alisa). I know it is hard to have a fair justice system, specially when life is not fair, but this case illustrate something that should not be called justice! Check youtube video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR7mno6p9iQ&feature=related and decide for yourself if you want to sign a petition to change that . I am not against Life without parole, in fact there are countries that should have a law like that (=Brazil), but its application to minors should be reconsidered.

POPSBrazilian Judge bans YouTube I am sorry to clip that, how come someone that does sex in public can limit millions of people to access a site like you tube. Brazilian justice system does need a big reform! Brazilian biggest provider has already blocked the site! http://tecnologia.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI1336191-EI4802,00.html and for those willing to check the famous video: NO, I DON't HAVE THE LINK...

POPSA Lost Forest - The Atlantic Forest Many know about the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil but there is another Forest that has only 8% of it left. If you go to Rio or Sao Paulo you would not believe they still have a forest nearby but close to the mountains there is still some areas almost intact, not sure until when. São Paulo, with its 18 million inhabitants, is the world’s fourth largest urban agglomeration. In 1994, the 1.5 million-hectare São Paulo City Green Belt Reserve was established as part of the UNESCO Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve but the last time I checked that green belt I found only a small area still left. It is called "Reserva do Morro Grande". You can see it here http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/78/1140/1600/CVSP-RMG.jpg or here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=sao+paulo,+brazil&ie=UTF8&ll=-23.53,-46.630001&spn=0.837302,1.716614&t=h&om=1
