Don't be discouraged, I think the timing is bad. I know that I've been extremely busy completing the Dining Room, planning a party (1 hour from now) and busy at school with my classes. I've wanted to get into those threads, but have avoided them because I know I can't put the time into them that I want to.
january or february?

Anthony,
I have thought the speeches were quite interesting and valuable. I have noticed on the threads where we have had ongoing discussions that the participation drops off steadily over time. I like the continuity, but it doesn't seem to work well with most people here. Maybe a new speech every month? Pablo

King has wonderful ideas about civil rights. BUT if he were alive today, what would he be doing? That is the discussion you should be having. We can learn from the past, but we cannot live there. Think more about what we can do with the lessons of king not his speeches.....
Just my 2 cents.....

Yeah, I think the timing is an issue. I read one of the speeches and loved reading it, but that was all I wound up taking time for: with regular life, planning travel (we're going all over the place these next few weeks), the usual end of semester chaos, and the round of holiday parties which we have to go to or we won't see our friends or colleagues for like, 2 months
 , I took a pass on clicking on these meaty (tofu-y?) threads for now.It could be the holiday hustle and bustle coming up. btw: I also like Joe's suggestion of speculating about how to proceed from where we are NOW, versus slipping into making MLK's peculiar niche a sort of textbook. Or, make it textbook if ya want, but understand that every time is unique, and be free to deviate from textbook. Don't drop the discussion. But another time might work better, at least for me.
