The 'Political Compass'[1] certified me as: Economic Left/Right: -3.75,
                                                                 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03
which, I understand, placed me just to the economic right of Nelson Mandela and as considerably more authoritarian than the Dalai Lama in 2007...[2]


States I NEVER visited in the United States:- Alaska;
Provinces and Territories I NEVER visited in Canada:- Nunuvut;
Nations I NEVER visited in Europe: Cyprus, Iceland, Malta;
I have also been fortunate enough to visit all ASEAN members, Africa and many of the Pacific Island nations; guess I'll never get to visit South America or Antarctica now...

Thank you, and Goodnight!


Censorship under the military dictatorship in Brazil
Censorship under the military dictatorship in Brazil consisted of restrictions on the media, artists, journalists, and others which the government deemed "subversive", "dangerous" or "immoral". The political system of the Brazilian military dictatorship, installed by a 1964 coup d'état and which persisted until 1985, also set out to censor material that went against what it called "morality and good manners". The constitution of 1967 established censorship as an official, centralized activity of the Brazilian federal government. There were several protests against the practice, including the Cultura contra Censura protest in February 1968, depicted in this photograph, which shows the actresses Tônia Carrero, Eva Wilma, Odete Lara, Norma Bengell and Cacilda Becker.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
