MLK day

If MLK's dream were alive or had come to be, would we be at war?
... would we have free health care?
... would the Jenna Six not exist?
... would we have a national Malcolm X day too?
... would Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu Jamal be free?
... would schools be free all the way to Phd.?
... would we have ever have had a Bush in office?
... would Oprah have Latino/as on her show?
... would black people have afros? ('cause the ones I see on TV don't)
... would Tupac and Biggie been killed?
... would we have ever needed hip hop?
... would humans be labeled illegal?
I hope you had the day off to think about these things and more...

Pessimistic Optimist

I consider myself a pessimist, or jaded, but I have hope.

I believe we will hit a major recession this year that will change a lot of the ways we do things around here. But this will be a good thing.

I believe it will get very bad, before it gets very good.

Maybe because I am also a procrastinator and do good under pressure, I think we collectively need the s*&% to hit the fan for us to wake up out of our shopping, Brittany and Paris induced haze and do something to heal the world.
