Re: MLK's little known speech.
Preachers do LOVE to preach, northsage_45, and the mellifluous sounds of their own inspired words, lead them to believe that the speech should go on much longer than a human is meant to sit and listen.
I agree............and this was a long and winding speech.
But, the stand up and speak and don't be silent part of it was very important.
Too bad his cousin wasn't a t-shirt manufacturer, who would have taught him some pithiness, too.
And I do find that to get men to listen, you must speak more like a t-shirt than a preacher.

MLK's little known speech.
Abuelita,
Doctor king was eloquent in espousing his heartfelt opinion, regarding extremely important issues, but like every clergyman I have ever known, tended to be very long-winded. Marilyn is like this also, preferring to use a thousand words to say what I could have, with a DOZEN! I cannot convince her that while, much like that old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." if for no other reason than, that a picture is SILENT!"
Listening to the whole book, I consider to be wasted, valuable time, time that I can never get back! This drives me absolutely CRAZY, because I already know the book, by heart.

Re: benzinha
I have a rabid, bleeding heart, upset and looking for words and posts, kind of brother, the lawyer, who calls himself the Mad Piper and posts things like this and I live off of his research.
It is good, WileyJohn, to be from a huge family as they become your researchers, back up, etc. on their many computers.

Thanks for reading it Kabu, somethings must be dragged back out into the light of day, like Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg, etc.
