well i cant see a Brazilian hailing objectivism considering how the US and World Bank forced privatization screwed them royally in the 80's, and the tremendous amount of poverty in the country; where 75% of the population is on their own to make all the rational decisions they can with no money, and no gov support.
So, I am not surprised you are from LA. And while we are on the subect, LA wouldnt have been anything if it wasnt for forward thinking massive public infrastructure projects; from the ports, to water, to the mulitmodal Alameda corridor, to LAX. Without this massive public infrastructure, LA would probably be the same size as San Diego.
