CJ ? Sue Gal? couldn't be Ted(he doesn't know that flammable liquids burn). California man sets self on fire in anti-religion protest BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - A man doused himself with flammable liquid and set himself afire, apparently to protest against a California school district's decision to change the names of winter and spring breaks to Christmas and Easter vacation. The man suffered first-degree burns on his shoulders and arms Friday, Fire Department Capt. Garth Milam said. He had a sign that read "(expletive) the religious establishment and KHSD," said Kern County Sheriff's Deputy John Leyendecker. On Thursday, the Kern High School Board of Trustees voted to change the names of the holiday breaks. The man, whose name was not released, also set fire to a Christmas tree and flags in a public area, Milam said. He stood with a U.S. flag around his shoulders and poured the liquid over himself. The flaming tree ignited the liquid. Sheriff's Deputy Lance Ferguson said he and a parole agent sprayed the man with fire extinguishers. "The man stood there like this," Ferguson said, holding his arms across his chest and his head bent down, "saying no, no, no."

Amazingly sharp observation, right on points. But hadn't I spent some time on the thread, I wouldn't even have known how precise this is. Those lib guys indeed have perfected their debating techniques and we have much to learn here. Taro
