Brazil’s Contribution to the World:

On the other hand, driving in my town (and it’s even worse in Rio) is much more of a Hobbesian experience, a war of all against all… As a result, over 40,000 people are killed every year on our streets and roads: as many as those who are murdered with more conventional weaponry. Think about this: that corresponds to one Korean war and one Vietnam every year while our population is only slightly above half of the American one. In other words, driving here is much more dangerous than soldiering in Fallujah or riding a bus in Jerusalem.
