Spent the day listening to Martin Luther King Jr. speeches
Man, but we are missing a voice of sanity today -

"The Struggle dissolves the deceptive facade and reveals basic evils and contradictions of our society."

"There is a dangerous silence today which intentionally encourages evil to flourish."

"Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. - JFK"

"America must not become a nation of onlookers. America must not remain silent, not merely black America, but all of America. It must speak up and act from the President down to the humblest of us."

And my favorite which should be the Democratic National Campaign Quote

"When Negroes by combined action seek to participate in the electoral process, they awaken the apathetic white who so took his rights for granted that he neglected to use them.

The sixties were a time of dangerous upheaval, but they forced change upon our society which in the end proved valuable to its evolution. Now, it seems we are condemned to de-evolution without the benefit of Devo.

Maybe I should send Mr. Kerry $25 and ask if he would consider Michael Franti as a running mate.:grouphug:

1. Indeed.
Who do we have today with such oratory skills speaking for humanity?
