Martin Luther King Jr. with apologies to my readers

: NOTE TO YOUNG STUDENTS READING THIS MESSAGE: go out and actually read the words of Martin Luther King Jr., if you can actually find them. There's also a really good CD with parts of his speeches, BUY IT if you can find it. Every January the public schools take a day off in celebration of this guy, and sometimes they tell you a little about who he was, but they always tell you some bland mushy nonsense about how he was a great guy like Abraham Lincoln or George Washington or those other guys who have holidays in their names. Find out what he actually said, as much of it as you can -- it's the sort of stuff the authorities don't want you to hear, and don't want you to think, because what he said ultimately can threaten their sense of power over your minds. After all, the big boys, the ones who really run the US government, did have him shot and killed for this same reason.
