Your bias is really showing. Brazilians don't have far fewer freedoms than Americans, in fact I'd say some of the freedoms brazilians enjoy are far more important than those in the US. That doesn't mean Brazil is perfect, it's certainly not. It's a country with a lot of problems, but to say it is authoritarian is just straight-up false. This is just a small list, there are many more examples if you bother to look for them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States#States_without_capital_punishment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Unite...
