Happy Martin Luther King, Jr Day!

Besides getting the day off, I will be watching any footage of MLK's many speeches and public demonstrations as I can get my hands on. I will be driving 300 miles on ice too, unfortunately, but that shouldn't be too bad if they've sanded the roads.

My quote of the day is one of MLK's that I think of every day and night. It's one I wish others would think about at least once in their life:

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
- Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963

There are so many more, but this one strikes a chord with me. This simple observation could transform the world if everyone took life this seriously, and didn't leave all of their beliefs up to pseudo-prophet tele-evangelist types and unduely over-bearing authorities. People should think about things. In my life's experience, if you don't think about an obvious problem and how you might help solve it, it won't get solved by anyone.

Of course, the man, MLK was not perfect in his personal life, but like Ghandi, I consider him one of the great peace-makers of our time.

I will try to post some video here as soon as I find some below:
