The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Presence of justice, there might be a presence but its sitting in the back row

justice based on what fulcrum?


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

MLK wasn't murdered until April 4, 1968.

anyone read the story of James Earl Ray?  Conspiracy?


We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

Harry... this board is full of 'conspiracy lovers'... I doubt they'd miss a chance to pass on a
good ole Conspiracy, no matter how far fetched it was.

the 'conspiracy' is always in the use of a deadwo/man name used for all kinds of 'truth supports'.....

MLK did what he thought was right and with one goal in mind....as time passes his words will get 'morphed' into other meanings
in different ways....

it was his goal that won and rightfully so....any other kind of introspection turns it into a religion of sorts that causes discontent

There are those who think that 'racism' is something that used to exist
in this country but has now passed.

IMO overt racism and government or corporate racism as policy has been
reduced greatly, but personal racism is still thriving but kept more under
wraps than in MLK's day.

Is racism over in the USA?

I don't think racism will ever disappear.....unfortunately....humans are like pack dogs to a certain degree. and unfortunately
the government still likes to label and put people into groups in an insidious sort of way.

immigrants
poor
rich
women
men
children
elderly
etc etc......

As long as the government continues to segregate with labels.....then yes, there will always be racism.

Affirmative Action is institutionalized racism.  So much for judging people based on the content of their character.  His dream led to racial quotas.

Affirmative action demands opportunity. It doesn't push quotas. Since you spend your life on the computer and aren't part of the workforce, you'll never know.
