More than MLK, Glen Ford over at BAR emphasizes the black schoolchildren at Little Rock Central in 1957 as igniting the nation, but of course none of them reached the pinnacle of effectiveness Dr. King attained. The list of blacks who have lost their lives to American slavery and imperialism reaches from the millions before Nat Turner to the millions since Muhammad Ali retired. Howsoever, the black pantheon is small, and Martin is there. Thanks for this, Greg.

I like Ron Paul as much as the next guy, by my God, no matter how unrelated a topic it is, you keep jerking him off. Give it a rest man, you're starting to sound like the sheep. Holy shit, Giorgio . . .

Give it a rest man, you’re starting to sound like the sheep.

So many of us are frustrated; we need leadership..." Well the leadership is right there in the person of RON PAUL ! Here is a man who is no demagogue and his message is simple and clear. He's part of the Establishment but is not in bed with it, which is an enormous advantage. Should he get enough support to be a force to reckon with by November, 2008, the next incumbent in the White House will be very wary of going into such premptive antics as attacking Iran. In fact the next president's life could be made so difficult that he would end up by digging his own grave in the Iraq quagmire. Then Ron Paul would be prez in 2012 and the insanity would be reversed with a U-turn in American politics... Rich Griffin said

So many of us are frustrated; we need leadership (NOT Obama, NOT Democrats who take impeachment off the table, and keeps authorizing without a fight most of the worst of the Bush agenda) and we need a revolutionary zeal to actually turn things around. it’s all fine and good, but how about coming up with ideas of what we can realistically do to reverse the insanity??
