Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and once again I must post this quote from the Reverend, which is as true today as it was when he said it many decades ago:

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

The United States of America is that nation that Reverend King is referring to. The Corporate Puppet Government of the USA, led by brain dead Boy George, his Republican buddies, and the cowardly sell out Democrats, waste our tax dollars on countless ridiculous wars (on "drugs," on Iraq, on Afghanistan, etc, etc, ad nauseam) while truly worthwhile programs such as healthcare and education have to beg for funding. This is a tragedy of the highest order, and the people of the United States need to demand better, and vote for Green Party candidates since neither the Democrats or the Republicans seem able to change their ways.

Let us honor Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. by getting serious about transforming this country and the world into a place that more closely resembles that which he dreamed of so long ago.
