While the big headlines for yesterday involved such things as TEBOW & BRADY as well as the death of Kim Jong Il, one of the most significant headlines seems to have gone unnoticed.
The death of the leader of the Velvet Revolution, Vaclav Havel, former playwright turned freedom fighter turned president of Czechoslovakia.

This was a great man, one who should be remembered for all history, not just for the brief time his obituary graced the news section of the ever changing interwebs. He stared into the face of the communists and defeated them, not with guns, but with the ideals of freedom.
Long live his memory. RIP Vaclav Havel
