It was quite heavy for a pre-brushed teeth read but nevertheless, it struck me as quite apt since we are in the midst of COP17 and some slightly more metaphorical issues regarding the state of freedom of speech in South Africa.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was famously quoted as having said that the atom bomb reminded him of words by Shiva, the Hindu god of Death, "Now I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds".
