Male model dies on catwalk on last day of Brazilian fashion show. Vegetarian, claim of drug free lifestyle, but was foaming at the mouth which rarely happens after slipping on an untied shoelace as show promoters claimed.

I'm surprised by the lack of follow up.

What happened to the Monroe doctrine?
This is our backyard
I heard the President Maduro was going to leave and the Russians talked him out of it
Putin's got balls to do this.

And here in America, forced, surreptitious sterilization of natives has been going on, not in early 1800's, but during our lifetimes, well into the 19 f@#$ing 90s.

PR calls it "a mistake". Those with an education call it "genocide".

Sorry, Terps. Natives getting s@#$ on is hardly news.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.
