People have reportedly self-immolated in response to Communist regimes in Romania and Hungary, taxes in Sweden, the kidnapping of children by Chilean police.
The plum market sector of 45-65 year-olds is now half regenerated, and every year that goes by the singed cynical private investors immolated by the crash of 2000 are passing out of the investment generation and replaced.
Would I avoid the worst, like these guys, or would I, when I finally stumbled ashore on the Japanese mainland, be immolated in one foul form or another, consumed by fire or rent apart by steel or crushed like a snail?
