I am reminded of a policy some states used to have that charged Californians
more to use their state parks. Of course, the policy was entirely in
retaliation for California charging out of state visitors more. I would not
let Brazil's policy keep me from visiting that country. Come to think of it,
I kind of like their feisty attitude.
