Conservatives have had their way with us -- almost unremittingly -- ever since.<br /><br />Today, of course, change is in the air. The word "conservative" has become more of a perjorative than the word liberal. Dr. King would like the direction we are headed in.<br /><br /><blockquote><em>Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a<br />conscience. And he has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating<br />another's flesh.</em></blockquote><br /><br />-- Martin Luther King, Jr., Why We Can't Wait, 1963.<br /><br />To read more of Dr. King's quotes, go <a href="http://www.mlkonline.net/quotes.html">here.</a>David Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204187524722829253noreply@blogger.com
