Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech was "borrowed" - it was drawn from a standard stock speech |

that many preachers used over the years.
Anyone who knows anything about oratory, especially the tradition of black oratory, knows that speeches are borrowed, recast, used again and again. So the trashing of the Obama/Patrick "just words" rhetoric is ridiculous.
Let's talk about something worthwhile.
