Just, why did they have to put Hail Mary over it... It's kinda logic from MLK's idealogical point of view, that he said these things. No surprise here; just praise. I never believed his ways would work, but there's some truth in his words.
Well, to me Martin Luther King was the ultimate front man of a movement that considers all people are equal, and all people are the same.But isn't that honestly some bullshit utopian thinking, to assume people can perfectly live together that easily? It takes some serious control over the environment to make integration work. To think it's something that just 'happens inside of the minds of the people', would be seriously short-sighted.

This man was looking beyond what we can imagion, but wish for. Why wish for it, why dream about it, why can't we do something about it. It's like the vision died with the man.

It's like the vision died with the man.I know, we need people like that, especially now. That's just to keep the masses in track, but that won't actually make the big difference that's needed. Surely, the people gotta change, but they can't change themselves; they must be changed along with their environment. Such is the behavior of groups. It's kinda irrealistic to assume you can change culture through some speeches by spreading an ideology. The means aren't large enough to realistically accomplish all that.
Damn. You hear his voice and it's like confronting shit. The security in this man's every breath is crazy, I swear man.

I doubt he would like it, but for today's generation, I think it adds to the fact that it sounds like his talking for the grave. I can get the whole speech that he said all this, but it's 22 minutes, and who would honestly listen to it. Also, no hip-hop beat... lol. But, it is an amazing speech, the sad shit is that you can substitute Vietnam for Iraq, and it's almost the same thing.
Just a thought, the penny is being redisigned in 2010, and in 2009 they will not produce pennies. The plan is to stick with Lincoln, but their is a small movement to have Martin Luther King replace Lincoln on the penny, since Lincoln is on the $5 bill. What do people think?
