69. Dr. King's mission of non-violence was based in Spirit, not cohones

He preached Love and a common Humanity that binds us together. He reached people by appealing to their spirit and aspirations. He talked the talk and walked the walk. He was a leader, not a macho poser. It took immense courage for him to stare down the future he had chosen. He drew on spirit, not bluster.

MLK wasn't killed because he was "despised" for what he said. He was assasinated because he was EFFECTIVE.

Sitting around talking about whose got balls seems self-indulgent and short-sighted.

Crude BS on TV or DU diffuses power, avoids the real evil we face now.

Dr. King spoke Truth with Dignity, spoke Truth to Power and appealed to the general public's highest hopes for humanity. THAT takes real courage.
