Judge people by the content of their character.
Today on the way into work, I listened to Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech in its entirety for the first time ever in my life. I've heard all the famous bylines and know the gist of the speech and the emphasis behind it just like the next kid that grew up in GA, but today was the first day that I've really listened to the whole thing. Now as someone never grew up in any kind of "separate but equal" state of mind, it was quite affirming to me that the message of the day rings in loud and clear: "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Equality. Not better, or more, but equal rights in a free nation. I'm down.
... and now to lighten the mood, a video of my crazy 1/2 cat, 1/2 raccoon!
