As I said before, I would rather one tainted person doing something than a million 'perfectos' shaking their heads solemnly about how things are. Many people who do good are normally people with deep personal flaws, yet for all their drawbacks they do more good than ill (for instance take Moses ....one could say the guy was a murderer and had severe leadership issues. Or take David .....he had serious flaws, extending to even killing a man just to sleep with his wife. Yet God called him beloved). Or looking at more modern people take Mother Teressa - I've read some nasty things about her (I'm certain false), yet her accusers have never spent a night in Calcutta (Kolkata) helping the needy.
BTW ....nothing about MLK condones Bl@wJ@b Clinton. The most he did was weaken the US, threaten the globe, and make some intern pretend a certain body part was a cigar. Yes, BJ Clinton has the flaws ......but he lacks any good aspects (unless being slippery counts, in which case he is tops).
Anyways .....there were many 'perfect' people who did nothing, and many 'flawed' people who gave up careers, relationships and lives (with most of these people remaining nameless).
I know which group I'd rather have in my corner.
Appreciating that MLK stood for some positive things means we will have a RMN or RWR or GWB national holiday.
No?
I thought so.
The Libs created this most political of days and well-meaning Conservatives let it happen unopposed.
Pussies.

Why not be in the corner of those who are moral and give all? Few that they are they do exist.
