Just a while later I saw the poster of "My name is not Johnny". The posters says that "He had it all, but limits."Ho can Brazilians have limits? With few exceptions, we are not thaught about that. We still think, for instance, that public money is nobody's money. we believe all chances shall be taken advantage of, regardless... regardless anything.
Lack of limits can explain so much in Brazil. Corruption comes to my mind as a prime example. As a counterbalance, I remeber carnival. Every year, we have an official obligation to put our limits to the test.
Seeing the Brazilian experience, specially the carnival, I think that lack of limits not always represents the fuel for a burning revolution. It can also be (as it is in Brazil) a recipe for everything to remain the same.
