Quote of the day.
"In S Africa the theme was the fight against Aids.
Here we must spread the culture of peace and disarmament.
We are still the country that most kills with firearms."
- Renan Filho, Brazilian Member of Parliament,
on a proposal for the 2014 Brazilian World Cup
to give free or reduced-price tickets to fans who surrender guns,
which would be destroyed and
used to make goalposts for Cup matches.
