Personally, I like Dr. King's way of protesting. I also like Ghandi's. Ceasar Chavez did well, but I don't think starving one's self is the optimum way of going about it.

When I was a kid in Westwood, CA. I actually saw a monk set himself on fire in front of the Federal Building. This was during the Vietnam conflict. I remember we were in the car, and just happened to pass by. My father, who was driving, buried the accelerator and we flew away down Wilshire Boulevard. The lesson learned, as horrific as it was, remains that this monk's sensationalism got him the papers, yes, but as a whacko. Did he sway the course of the war? No, I don't think so.
