You’re New National Holiday …. 1/18/06

We have Martin Luther King Jr Day. It’s a day wherein the stock market is closed, the banks are closed and the post offices are closed which maybe a good thing. Everything comes to a haul accept the 230 million remaining Americans who work for a living. Gas stations are open, discount stores are open and so are malls….

I am not saying Matrin Luther King should not be honored in someway. But if every American who laid their life on the line and many give it willingly and still do…should have a day in their honor…why we’d be out of days till the next millennium.

There are thousand of soldier and non-soldiers that fought for your rights to stay at home and watch. Yes, Rev. King should be on the list, as well as George Patton, and Alex Hamilton. There are many more John Does that really haven’t gotten their credit, guys like Al Stolen who had his planes shot up during WW 2 kept it to hemself.

This national day could be as big as the 4th of July. Or, celebrate their gifts to us on the 4th.
Gee, we already do… just forget what I proposed but remember all those other people.

I gotta say that the point isn't that MLK jr died, but that he was fighting for a different thing than the people you mentioned...He wasn't fighting a foreign enemy, but the right to have equal footing and respect with people who he shared his homeland with.

We have Veterans Day and Memorial Day for people who fought and gave their lives in battle. You're right though, every life is precious.

Maybe you should have Ms. Perfect proof your grammar before postings?

On second thought, never mind. Then it wouldn't be the real deal. Go ahead with the flowing thoughts. We'll figure it out somehow.
