The most difficult part about reading and rereading Dr. King's words is, as Dennis eluded to, how things haven't really changed that much...

We are mired in war, in discrimination, in hatred, in intolerance, in ignorance and in the same flawed political system that just is up dealing with probelms in a modern world...

Also in the Playboy interview King expressed a belief that by the turn of the century the US would have moved to an intergrated society... Reality is that we have not done that... We rae still very much segregated... There is more public school defacto segrgation now than there was 20 years ago... We do not worship together... We are not an intergrated society at all and the folks who want to keep it that way have the power to do just that...

It is my ***belief*** that Dr. King would have gotten US there... Okay, there would still be pockets of holdouts but as they died off they wouldn't be replaced... That is my belief...

More quotes later...
