I encourage you to spend some time reading, listening, or watching videos relating to Martin Luther King Jr. today.  A friend of mine has put together a wonderful post that includes links, videos and quotes.  Please honor the significance of the day by learning something new about who Dr. King was.  He was an incerdible orator and trulyunderstood the power of nonviolence.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.
