Things the Teenage Me Would Never Have Believed About Life In The Future, #15

Brazilians will take to the streets to protest their country hosting the world cup.

Seriously though, good on Brazil.  It seems like every country has some weakness that they give in to.  But Brazil has overcome it to show some pragmatism, asking for bread before circuses  Sure, they occasionally resort to out-of-control tactics to promote that pragmatic ideal, but it's a start.  Americans quickly abandon their minimalist government principles to build stadiums, and I couldn't imagine Canadians protesting against huge spending on hockey.
