George W. Bush’s choice of March 8 as the start of what became known as the ‘ethanol visit‘ to Brazil ended up scrambled with the time when Brazilian Women’s Movements expect to have their voices heard by the society as a whole. The target now is the media itself, the one which is now-a-days earning many different adjectives like ‘big’, ‘traditional’, ‘1.0′, etc., or the guys formerly known as ‘opinion builders’. Feminist organizations are starting a legal ‘right to respond’ campaign in order to guarantee prime time audiences to the broadcast of their vision of themselves.

Bush labeled his latin america tour as a National Security Issue. United States has so much to offer to the world: knowledge, entertainment, ect. BUT no, the folks come down south here for energy gossips. Bush correctly seeks energy for power. Power raises USA´s production . Production money raises US chances in the global competition game. Chinas running fast. Gotta ketchup using any means possible. Most brazilians are ok with US´s thirst for leadship, as long as it doesn't involve our help. As brazil is an anti-war country, negociating ethanol with the US is like negociating with the MOB. We poor brazilians are comfortable with our third-world problems as long as were not involved with folks deliberating killing humans in other countries. We also feel uncomfortable knowing that fellow citizens are starving to death while our goverment is negociating brazilian land to make fuel to boost big cars.. National Security Issue.
