Sonic Overload 1/19/15

"I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin—we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered."--Martin Luther King Jr., "Beyond Vietnam", April 4, 1967, one year to the day before his assassination.

I don’t think I can add much to what Martin Luther King said in 1967 except to point out that his words are just as relevant now as it was then. What I mean is we still have hell of a long way to go to achieve racial and economic equality in this country. And I don’t see that happening anytime soon, given the current political climate. Just some food for thought on the holiday that honors this great leader...
