MArtin Luther King - Like most leaders, both great and flawed. A womaniser riddled with depression and self doubt. Who nonetheless had a whole lot of 'righteousness' in him. Well, at least conjured up enough up to help substantially carry the revolution to the 'oppressors'. Making some of the most memorable speeches of the 20th century. Advocating peace over violence. Preaching great ideals of humanity and future societies.

I mean Gandhi was meant to be a bit fooked up too. And Marcus Garvey certainly was. But doesn't mean they were all bad. And doesn't take away they great things they did. And how they have inspired so many. I mean humanity itself is flawed. So surely their leaders, being mortal, would have flaws too...hmmm..

Well, something like that (just trying to bring this thread back on track...away from the mainly ignorant, aimless rants..)...
