More Amazon

This is over two weeks old, and a lot has been going on here while we were on (unwilling) hiatus, but this story about people crusading against large companies in the Amazon is worthwhile, and provides more reason for hope in terms of the Amazon. It's just good to see residents in the Amazon not being afraid of landowners and companies in the wake of the murder of activist Dorothy Stang at the beginning of last year. Here's hoping Mr. Feitosa keeps the flame of Stang's efforts alive for a long time (and stays among the living, as well).
