I agree,
I think that this is what God thinks: "human intervention is usually more effective" here in earth.
Have a nice weekend!

> At the XLIX Congresso da Sociedade Brasileira de Medecina Tropicale in Campo Grande this year, I had a conversation about this with several people (I can't remember whom). We came to the conclusion that Brasil is the only tropical country that has a so long lasting Tropical Medicin Society, the others (American, British, French) are countries with a colonial past history. In fact, we thought that it should be named Colonial Medecin, because it was so involved in the health of soldiers and colonialists rather than in the people who were born and bred in these tropical countries. In that respect, Brasil can be proud of its Sociedade Brasileira de Medecina Tropicale that is the foremost Society in tropical countries and promotes the health of the people that live there.

First, I find it ironic that your post is in English rather than in Portuguese (eu fale um pouco portugues mas eu compreendou bem). Secundo, the idea is that our works be as outspread as possible. At the beginning of the 20th century this could involve German (for chemistry and physics) or French (for Physics or Biology) as well as English (look at the list of Nobel Prize winners at this period). Since the Second World War, English, because of the suppremicy of the United States in both scientific research and the financing of this research, became the standard. One can regret it, especially because Editors prefer a very neutral English rather than someting that can be readable. I often have this problem. I want my papers to be enjoyable to read, but this does not seem to be the point of view of the Editors. So, to sum up, it is not the question of English or not, but is the article interesting and agreable to read.
