6. no, but am waiting for the details. This will make two.

Wasn't it two weeks that a man shot himself at the World Trade Center's Ground Zero? As I recall, it was in protest of the reSelection of georgie porgie (just after election day). How many more.

I remember during the Vietnam war there were monks who set themselves on fire in protest. There was a whole string of them in the middle of the square and the cameras caught it all. Awful...

9. I remember that.

It also started a string of copycat immolations by others who were more mentally unbalanced than anti-war.

8. I've been wondering...

...when this was going to start. I'm not surprised. It's a historical human way of registering extreme protest.
