Martin Luther King Quote

The quote from Martin Luther King in the previous music video is from his last sermon before his assassination, hours before he was gunned down:

"I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land."

How prescient, and how much I hope Barack Obama is here to lead our American neighbours out of the past 8 years of tyranny, constitutional faux-pas, and illegal war and into the promised land of peace; of healthcare for all; of safe, rare, and legal abortions; of repealing irresponsible tax cuts which only benefit the very rich; of turning around the damage the Bushies' oil buddies and others have done to the environment; where children are very much left behind ...

On to the brighter future MLK promised all of us!
