If You Get All Choked Up Reading About Gol Airlines...

...you might be a conservative. And a nerd.

Gol, profiled in the CS Monitor, is a Brazilian airline startup, which took advantage of the soft economy of 2001 to enter the airline industry as the first low-cost carrier in Brazil. They're expanding quickly - and popularizing air travel among previous non-fliers. It is Constantino de Oliveira, Jr., (Gol's founder), not Hugo Chavez, who will bring South America into the 21st century economy.
