MLK, Haiti

Haiti is still on top of the news. Remember to donate through your phone TEXT Haiti at 90999 for an easy ten buck donation. On the other side of the coin, looks like some looters are getting shot in Port Au Prince. U.S. and UN sending more troops to bring order to the chaos. Aid still slow getting there because of the airport issues - one runway no real infrastructure, etc, etc, etc. Now on a better note. We have a holiday to remember Martin Luther King. It is amazing how the great peace preachers get themselves assasinated in order to be heard by all. Damn shame. When I was a kid, I read the biography of Ghandi. Wow. (I also read On the Road, the Fountainhead and Peyton Place). Talk about an impressionable mind period . . . Anyway, I digress. Now we have an articulate President whose legacy was formed by MLK and probably Malcom X and many others. Makes for a great resume for a world leader, in my opinion. One a final note, it is a pity that we as a world always have to resort to violence to further our civilization. Rodney King was right -"Why can't we all get along?"
