Re: Land of 1000 dunces
Happy to be called a leftist. I'll even wear a t-shirt saying so if you buy it for me (we leftists only spend other people's money).
M: To characterise Lula as an "extreme leftist" is something of an exaggeration. Most people on the left have been disappointed with just how tame Lula's actions in power have been; he's shaping up as something of a Brazilian Tony Blair in some respects (although he is pushing hard to create a third world international negotiationg bloc; but that's not really a domestic or left-right issue). The same goes twice over for the idea that he's about to engage in some kind of Stalinist purge.
