giving birth/MLKBD

Yesterday I spent 15 hours trying to give birth to a kidney stone! not alot of fun! Those of you who have ever had the experience know what I am talking about. Those of you who have not had the experience consider yourself lucky.

MLK DB
today is the day we remember King. I have never really understood this. i know that the liberals needed a minority to use for a federal day off but i feel that there are people more deserving that King. George Washington Carver for example. Through his work with the lowly peanut he started an entire industry and created many many jobs for people here in the US. But then I guess it is more important to the liberals to honor some one who was controversial and carver the media attention than someone who worked hard and did good for his people and the whole nation.

I guess truth be told I do know why King got his federal Holiday over Carver. King was killed by some dumb ass racist who did not have any idea what he was doing. First off you do not just kill some one because you don't like his skin color or politics. This is the United States, we are suppose to be part of the civilized world. Second if the killer thought he would somehow stop the civil right movement buy killing King then he was a complete moron. All he did is make King a martyr, and a martyr's cause will last for ever.

Several martyrs came out of that time in our history. King, J.F.K, and Bobby K. just to mention a few. I really feel that they would not be as highly thought of today, if they had been allowed to live. By now enough dirt would have been dug up on all of them to put them on the same level as we now hold Nixon.
