Madonna and sacrifical bonfire(s)?

Do you remember this tragic incident on Christmas day last, that's still in the news everyday?  The one family survivor, Madonna Badger, later tried to kill herself.

When this happened, I mentioned this story on Acceleration; I thought it meant something then and now I am wondering if it doesn't mean a whole lot more.

Just this week, less than 10 days after the Super Bowl, one of the worst fires (in terms of deaths) happened at a prison in Honduras:

Sacrifical Bonfire (XTC)

Fire they cried
So evil must die
And yields are good
So men pull back hoods and smile

The scapegoat blood spilled
Spittled and grilled it crackled and spat
And children grew fat on the meat

Change must be earnt
Sacrificial bonfire must burn
Burn up the old
Bring in the new
Burn up the old
Bring in the new

Assembled on high
Silhouette against the sky
The smoke prayed and pranced
And sparks did their dance in the wind

Disguises wore thin with less and less skin
And the clothes that were draped
Was all that told man from ape

Change must be earnt
Sacrificial bonfire must reign
Reign over good
Banish the bad
Oh,Reign over good
Banish the bad, oh, ohh
