I like MLK. I've taught his speeches, so I would never say anything negative about him. I don't even care if he was an adulterer, but I do not consider him an expert on who is and who is not an anti-semite since he has very special biblically based views on that, which are not logical. Interestingly (and this is a tangent- so "tangent warning") atheism is growing in the young. Apparently, according to one study I heard (and I must go check it out)- atheism and republicanism are running at 19% (presumably not the same 19%). I find it fascinating and will be intrigued if these numbers hold as these people age. We will, I think, begin to look more like Europeans if we lose some of our statist religiosity (by which I mean the desire inherent in large parts of the electorate to inflict their religion on those who are not religious, or who are not the same religion, via the machinery of the state, not that they think of it that way, they just want a "christian" country- including, but not limited to, "christian" oriented schools- a la intelligent design and prayer and what have you.)
