Today was a Federal Holiday. The Post Office was closed, and my mailbox is empty. Students remained home from school. The Banks enjoyed a day of rest. Why? Because today was the day we have set aside to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his message of hope and America's departure from segratation, and the attempt to finally become a society of one people: Americans.
I was considering writing a nice long post about how the idea of multi-culturalism actually teaches the opposite of what Dr. King preached, and how today's society seems to be more intent on segragating people in an attempt to not "offend" anyone. The sad thing is, Dr. King's dream is in jeopardy. We have forgotten how to be Americans.
But, as I was thinking about this, a fascinating article crossed my desk.
During a service at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church yesterday to honor Dr. King, Bill Clinton, who was in attendance, decided it was more important to take a nap.
When you go to the site above that I linked, be sure to watch the video too, or you may access the video by clicking on the picture of Bill Clinton napping above.
