MLK

An insight to MLK not as a saint, but as a brilliant dude:
...reminds me of reading about MLK and how he and his college friends seem to have read every book in the world, and spent their social evenings (even bringing their dates!!) at the feet of local intellectuals and visiting minsters and debating each other endlessly. King spent those years studying Reinhold Niebuhr and developing an intellectual philosophy; I spent the same age watching Who's the Boss? reruns and going to fraternity keg parties with sororities at which the topics of conversation were generally made up of kegs, parties, and sororities. In my defense, I did have a girlfriend with huge tits, so. Cough. This thing on?
