Dear Oliver,

Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of his time - no question.

And the time for a black person - was not an easy one ...

There is a saying - not to judge anyone - unless you've walked in their footsteps (or words to that effect).

It's a good saying.

cont'd

"If my skin was coloured
And yours was starkly white,
Would you start putting me down
Till I'd have to turn and fight?

If I prayed to a god
That was different to yours,
Would you reason it out
As a good cause for war?

If men are truly brothers
Though they can't live in peace,
Should we obey the rules and fight
Or make the fighting cease?"

...I get up at eight
...go to bed at nine
...I'd fight for my country
...don't open my mind.

Just a few thoughts.

Where would we be without the peace-makers? Martin Luther King Jr.
was a peace-maker. What he achieved weighs much more on the scales of justice than a thesis, at least I'd say so.

I think Anubus would agree. History will certainly judge him positively. O.

Dear Oliver,

I'm sure that Anubis would indeed insure the accuracy of the
scales weighing Martin Luther King's soul...

Thanks. This has been an interesting discussion.
