MLK Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. (don't ever forget that he was the junior, yes!)
- pictured here in his element and as his most inspirational.
Regardless of the fact that they hold MLK Day on neither his date of birth nor the sad date of his assassination, it is GOOD that they do hold an MLK DAY each and every year. The only thing that DUBYA has ever said that was truly worth listening to was when he stated the following, on this very latest MLK DAY (January 22nd, 2008, hence) and I paraphrase (because you'll likely never find me quoting Dubya - ever) - "we should strive to make every day MLK Day in America."
And, for once, it wouldn't have been too much if he had kept milking it for all it was worth - because, this once, it was TRULY WORTH A LOT. Pure gold, I'd say. Alas, the very next day, Dubya and all of America sort of... went numb again.
They do that every year.
To some, MLK and JFK are neck-in-neck in historical significance and accomplishments. A luminous pundit blogger (and free thinker wherever he voices his message) can only come to one conclusion: MLK is way more important than JFK ever was.
Way more important.
