Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007Gilberto Gil is great. He’s like Brazil’s Bob Dylan… and a Green Party minister. Saw him once in concert - just awesome! And what an interesting and refreshing take on property rights.

More about the Brazilian Green Party from Wikipedia:
At the last legislative elections, 1 October 2006, the party won 13 out of 513 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and none out of 81 seats in the Senate.
After Lula’s election as president of Brazil in 2002, the Green Party was assigned the Ministry of Culture, to which pop singer Gilberto Gil was appointed.
