looking for a world audience."On the one hand, the pope is a 
very respected figure in Brazil, which is of course a majority Catholic 
country," he said. "On the other hand, all eyes are going to 
be on Brazil, so the pope's visit would be a very attractive 
platform for groups to get their messages across."For Brazil's government, 
the pope's visit is seen as a test run for the country's 
hosting of next year's World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Olympics, 
which will also draw millions of visitors.In preparation, Brazilian soldiers 
have invaded a swath of Rio's slums to push out drug gangs 
and re-establish their authority. In large part because of slum violence, 
Brazil suffers one of the world's highest homicide rates, which has doubled 
in the past three decades, according to a new report.Nonetheless, a recent 
visit to the slum Francis is set to enter revealed only two 
police officers parked just a few meters from the chapel where he'll 
pray. Journalists were warned by adolescent boys to not take pictures of 
certain areas where drug peddlers were active, standard practice in slums 
that have yet to be pacified.Varginha is one of Rio's smallest slums, 
a triangle-shaped chunk of flat, dusty land sitting between two putrid waterways 
full of raw sewage. On the third side runs a busy main 
road with an elevated commuter train that noisily rolls by overhead.Brazilian 
police haven't revealed how they'll secure the slum when Francis a

closed doors."Shaw admits any hope for changing this type ofbehavior has 
to come from voters. "This is only going to change in one 
of two ways. People coming out to vote and deciding who represents 
them. And secondly when a groundswell of public outrage forces public officials 
to impose higher ethics standards upon themselves."Illinois' history with 
questionable political ethics is rich. The state practically became the 
poster child for corruption during the criminal trial of former Illinois 
Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Blagojevich attempted to sell off Barack Obama's coveted 
U.S. Senate seat in return for hefty campaign donations referencing it in 
the now infamous phone call saying, "I've got this thing and it's 
f------ golden and I'm not giving it up for f------ nothing."Blagojevich 
is currently serving out his 14-year sentence in federal prison in Colorado.
