Don't know how I feel about self-immolation, as in, I don't think I could do it. But it's got to be better than killing children, blowing up a bus of day laborers or shooting a woman in the head.
And on a spectrum of violence, it's as far away from taking Uncle's dollar to murder mothers on their doorsteps, or flying a sky robot from the comfort of an operation center thousands of miles removed, Pepsi in hand, as is humanly possible.
Remember this name. Add it to the arsenal of our Long Memory:
Mohamed Bouazizi.
