    Rest in Peace- Vaclav Havel

    Czech leader and former president of the Czech Republic died in his sleep yesterday. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe...932120566.html

    I highly recommend you read this book, a loose autobiography of Havel's life as a playwright and political dissident.

    Now here's a man who changed the world, at least a little. Such an interesting man, and such an iconic figure. The world needs more Havels, not less...

    I've been taking a Central European history course since September and lived in Slovakia for a time.

    Havel was a great: neither comfortable as dissident nor politician but truly a great activist and humanist.
