How angry must you be?

A California man set himself afire yesterday in protest of the local school board's decision to rename winter and spring breaks Christmas and Easter vacation, respectively:

A man used flammable liquid to light himself on fire, apparently to protest a San Joaquin Valley school district's decision to change the names of winter and spring breaks to Christmas and Easter vacation.

The man, who was not immediately identified, on Friday also set fire to a Christmas tree, an American flag and a revolutionary flag replica, said Fire Captain Garth Milam.

Kern County Sheriff's Deputy John Leyendecker said the man had a sign that read: "(expletive) the religious establishment and KHSD."

What a sad, confused and angry man to do such a foolish thing.
