Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King at Riverside Church, 1967

It is natural and proper that the world honors The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., this week for his work in race relations.

Yet this year, as in every year, Dr. King's opposition to the economics of his time is a fact prominently over-looked.

In the speech heard at the link below, Martin Luther King makes clear his opposition to the Viet-Nam War and to the philosophy of exploitation behind it.
