Finally, someone talking about the issues of today

Around this time of year, some years ago, i caught someone talking on the radio. I stayed in the car after parking it at home, incredibly excited that someone, finally, was talking so well and so straightforwardly about the problems facing us. It was the end of Martin Luther King Jr's I have a dream speech, which some public or college radio station took the time to play all the way through.

Disappointing, of course, that the timely eloquence was from a person murdered forty years ago. Slightly cool on a personal level to have had the opportunity for the greatness to catch me because of its essence, not because someone is saying this is Historic and Important and You Must Listen To It.
