we are the children & do not need to be saved

this is still one of the most powerful poignant protests ever witnessed. this monk set himself alight in downtown saigon to bring attention to the repressive discriminatory policies which existed in vietnam at the time. the year was 1963.


are these the lengths required to convince the government that 99% of australians polled said "no" to an imposed internet filter? we do not need to join china's internet control ranks. we should not have to martyr any more monks in the pursuit of knowledge and peace.


if we are the children let not the state be the parent. let mao tse tung and his culturally deplete inheritance stay where they belong. in the history pages.
