I've been vaguely paying attention to the latest round of demonstrations in Thailand, but the headline above caught my attention. In 2006 I taught a class for a month at Ramkhamhaeng University. It's an open University with lots of students who wouldn't have a chance getting into more elite universities.
The image is from a Youtube videos that begins on the street in front of the University. There's a by-pass road above and lots of shops on one side of the street and the University on the other.
It's hard keeping things in Thailand straight these days as you can see if you go to these links New Mandala and Bangkok Pundit that I've had up on the blog several years now. It's not even clear that the man killed was at the University from what I'm reading.
This is also a reminder of where things can end up when people split on ideological lines and see only their differences and not what they have in common.
[Feedburner note: Basically it's been working, but 11 hours after this one was posted, it's still not showing up on blogrolls. When it didn't go up right away, I pinged it, but that didn't help.]]
