60. How soon after that speech
when MLK was attacked by the media and establishment for dipping into "peacenik" territory, that he was shot? Rallying voices are not as great today and the suppression is still full force as it ever was. Those particularly disappointed with the Dems now would have seen the like in the Dem majorities at that time or the Dems who did not strongly oppose the McCarthy witch hunts or any number of DC calculating wafflers while the innocent suffered.

The scary thing is not that times are so bad but that the good old days never existed and the future is very hard to achieve when icons and memories can be deleted by the bi-partisan ruthless and the soft.
