Thank you deb

Kind of ironic that it's on the 20th this year. What other major event is happening on that day?

Trump's inauguration.

My dad died on that date last year.

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

“Never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was legal”

The antithesis of everything he stood for.

Well, yeah. Since Hitler had the unitary power to enact laws without parliamentary approval, of course everything he did was "legal."

Since we have presidential inaugurations every four years, and MLK Day falls on a January 20th every five to seven years, the odds of MLK Day falling on an inauguration day are... allow me to count on my fingers... wait, I need to count on my toes, too, so I need to take off my slippers and my socks...

The odds of MLK Day falling on an inauguration day are 1 in 12, or 8.3%.

I am changing my avatar for one day only to distract myself from thinking about something else that is happening on this day.

Honor a king, not a felon

 

[RadishRose]

We're now living in a kleptocracy. Yay.

What does this have to do with MLK day?

 

[RadishRose]

Honor a king, not a felon

Who is honoring a felon? Who is the "felon"?

Oh brother!

People please refrain from childish innuendo on Dr, King's day. Show some respect.

Yes. Thank you for reminding us that our attention should be focused today on Dr. Martin Luther King instead of anyone else.

Nothing significant I can think of
