      [continued from previous message]              The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are unjust.              The disparity of wealth between the rich and the poor in America       is unjust.              The influence of corporate money in American politics is unjust.              And so on...              As he did when he was alive, Dr. King would prophetically speak       the truth of God and he would demand that these wrongs of war,       economic injustice and failures in democracy, be set right. And       Dr. King would go beyond words, he would take action - he would       put his feet in the street and his body on the line and he would       rally others to do so. And in doing these things, Dr. King would       encourage the wrath of the majority in our nation, particularly       those who benefit from the status quo, and they would hate him       for it and they would wish him dead.              Have the courage to think of that on January 17th.              That is what this national holiday should be about - deep       reflection on Dr. King's life and mission and whether or not       each (or any) of us has the desire and the courage to truly       bring his dream to reality in these United States of America.              Peace (and Justice),              Jim Keady              http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-keady/do-you-really-want-to-       cel_b_809799.html                             --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
