Happy Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Day!

The non-violent fight for equality continues, despite its co-option by militant Black Panther-esque protesters of the Left, and the extremist uncaring radicalism of the Right.

Something inspirational for you.

Lisa Simpson (singing):

Come gather 'round children, It's high time ye learned,
'Bout a hero named Homer, And a devil named Burns.
We'll march till we drop, The girls and the fellas,
We'll fight till the death Or else fold like umbrellas.

. . .

So we'll march day and night, by the big cooling tower,
They have the plant, but we have the power.

Montgomery Charles Burns (talking like Dr. Seuss):

Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing.
They're not sad at all. They're actually singing!
(to Smithers) They sing without juicers. They sing without blenders.
They sing without flunjers, capdabblers and smendlers!

So we'll march day and night, by the big cooling tower!
They have the plant, but we have the power.

What a joy is comedy! It delights and incites us to laughter even as it goads us to anger at the state of the world for providing such vicious fodders to the comedians. We are humans all. We'll forgive many their trespasses, their transgressions, and their convictions. Shall it be, at last, that not only will we be free from discrimination, but also free from exploitations?

So we'll march! We'll march day and night!
by the big cooling tower
They have the plant, its electricity provided,
but we have the power.
Our struggles will continue; they will continue
until we fall or fold
We'll never stop being the shining light, 'til
together all is told.
The judgment of the future--and the Lord--calls you.
Take up the opportunity that befalls you.
The path is night, we stumble blindly.
It's only right that we treat us kindly.
