About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

I've always wanted to visit Rio, but my goodness, the way those houses are stacked on top of each other (around 2:30). They look like match boxes glued to the side of a hill. Pretty precarious.
Leslie: Those are what are called the favelas, the slums inhabited by the poor. For all its progress, Brazil still suffers terrible levels of poverty and inequality, though I think the advent of democracy has begun to improve things.
I figured they were the slums but my God!!! I'd hate to think what would happen in case of an earthquake or even a small fire.
