Thích Quảng Đức

I went to the MOMA (Museum Of Modern Art) in San Francisco today and there was a really interesting Photo of a Buddhist monk who burned himself.

This is the Wikipedia Link about the monk if you want to have some background information.

    Check out Ryszard Siwiec, he was the first one to commit suicide such way in the name of something.

    Sadly, it was the only thing he could to bring some public attention to his case.

    ps. Toto - "lol!" is a pretty fucked up thing to say, when you comment on someone who set himself on fire :D
