From thought provoking posting on FB Religious Society of Friends page:

Bill Powell
I was reminded today of the sacrifice of the Quaker, Norman Morrison, who set himself afire in front of the Pentagon in 1965 as an attempt to stop the killing of innocents in Vietnam. His death in 1965 did spur protests against the war and probably brought it to to an end earlier than might have otherwise happened. The concluding stanza from the Vietnamese poet Ho Huu:
"Washington..
Twilight..
O souls
Still living or having gone before!
Now my heart is at its brightest!
I burn my body.
So the flames may blaze
The truth.

Bill Powell Michael....I do as well...but during that time Buddhist Monks were doing it (and, actually, even now that is happening). But, where does someone stop or give up in the face of what they see as evil....I don't know.
