    I SHOWED THIS TO MY 24 YEAR OLD NEPHEW, BECAUSE IT WAS SO INTERESTINGLY TRUE, AS ALWAYS WHEN YOU'RE THAT AGE YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE WORLD BY THE TAIL AND REPLIED, THIS WILL NOT BE ME, I PRAY SO HARD THAT IT WILL NOT BE HIM, THAT HE WILL NOT HAVE TO FINE OUT HOW HARD LIFE IS BEHIND BARS, BECAUSE HE LIKE MANY OTHER YOUNG BLACK MALES DON'T LISTEN TO THEIR ELDERS, GOOD SHOW REAL GOOD.

    YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO WERE NOT BORN IN THE TIME PERIOD OF DR. KINGS DEATH AND ONLY HEARD AND STUDIED IT AT SCHOOL FORGET THE DREAM, THE DREAM HAS TO BE TAUGHT AND TALKED ABOUT OFTEN BY THEIR ELDERS, IN THIS CRAZY WORLD OF TODAY EVERYONE IS SO BUSY MAKING IT FOR THEMSELVES THEY FORGET, OR THEY JUST HAVE POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS, AND DONT WANT TO BRING MATTER OF OUR LEADERS UP. COULD IT BE BECAUSE THEY TOO, HAVE FORGOTTEN THE DREAM, AND THEY TOO ARE NOT WALKING THE WALK OR TALKING THE TALK THEMSELVES?

    This is a monumental event but only time will tell how much damage Bush has done in emptying out the treasury and setting the only stable nation in chaotic disarray. To me he has set the stage for the anti-christ and no one can stave off his mess of our nation.
