Very cool. But has the world really changed?? There's still war, stupidity, famine, murder.... seems like thing will never change.
The photo of the monk self-immolationing himself happened right outside my mom's home in Saigon (right around the corner). She was an actual eye witness to the event. She told me the monk walked into the middle of the intersection, started to pray and then doused himself in gasoline. He lit himself up and didn't even flinched. She will never forget what she saw. She told me this story years before I had even seen the picture for the first time.
