I see. You're looking at this third-world problems offering sensible first-world solutions. Thet won't work here. At least not top-down. Too much political corruption (current Brazilian president Lula served jailtime on curruption charges and current Argetinian Vice-President Cristina Kirchner was just sentened for corruption past December).

Only the people can educate themselves out of this mess. But that might be a bridge too far for many.
