    Human Torch walks thru mall

    A lady lit herself on fire and walked thru a crowded mall. The flames were shooting up several feet but she remained silent and didnt scream as she walked along.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    That is super fucking eerie. I think I'd have the creeps for months if I were one of those people that witnessed that.

    Is it wrong to want to see store CCTV footage of this?

    I mean this is seriously bizarre ... must have been a scary-ass sight for the shoppers. That must be the last thing you'd be expecting to see at a mall.

    For some strange reason I would be interested in that footage, as well. I just have a hard time imagining what it would be like to be shopping for a dvd and look up to see this woman calmly walking by...

    And they say Romero's consumerism commentary was heavy handed....

    Ba-doom-boom.

    Morbid curiosity has always been a part of human nature.

    It'll probably turn out to be a publicity stunt for the Candle Store.

    Or the Barbeque joint in the Food Court.
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Wow.

    I retract my previous snark. My apologies for being an a-hole. Sometimes in an effort to be pithy I'm just offensive. Gotta work on that.

    Poor woman. Mental Illness is a real problem; especially when untreated or misdiagnosed.

    In light of recent discussions, any word as to her Health coverage? Could this whole thing have been avoided?
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.
