algernonsidney Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It is a war on men and a war on the family as an institution. Here is Tom Ball's "declaration of war":http://www.sentinelsource.com/news/local/last-statement-sent-to-sentinel-from-self-immolation-victim/article_cd181c8e-983b-11e0-a559-001cc4c03286.htmlIt has some flaws, but the message is what is important. Any man should read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbeaulieu Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'll have to check this out at home. Coincidentally, this is my hometown. I'm surprised my mom didn't tell me about this...~ Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algernonsidney Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm certainly curious to hear what anyone local has to say about this. It seems that his ex-wife has said absolutely nothing. She should be celebrating. She is now free to succeed and prosper without the man that she no longer wanted in her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I didn't like it when the Buddhist monks did it, and I don't like it now.And yet, it got you talking. And yet, it worked in South Viet Nam and Tunisia.Worked? I don't believe that those Buddhists died to "get people talking."To die in such a hideous way, in order to "get people talking" about his personal grievance, however well-founded and attested, which had grown to overcome his concern for his children and to blot out every other aspect of life- was the most tragic thing about this desperate, driven, soul-sick man.
