Al Sharpton, out of jail pounds lighter. Al healthier, well rested AL Sharpton is just what Right Wing Wacko's Need.

Since everyone would be talking about The Honorable, Rev. Martin Luther King.

Mortal, feels felt pain worried about the future of his wife, children, and generations coming into being.

Both good and rebellious son, father, husband, loyal friend, visionary, peace and anti-war freedom fighter. Brave-reluctant and martyr to the emergence a burgeoning global freedom of all humanity.

I felt that speaking on a weighty subject as Rev. King, his ongoing legacy is something others would do better at than me.

Then again, many voices may have been silenced because of September 11, 2001 - and I want mine on record even if its never read I'll know that I wrote some minor tome the day after Martin Luther King Day / Wednesday, January 16, 2002.

I don't know why his real birthday is not celebrated next Monday, January, 21, 2002?

Is it because it happens to fall on a business day, or that honoring him on the 15th instead of his real birthday, takes the sting out what this man with help of many people, around the world publicly shamed America to its knees, knocking all the old assumptions and cracking a few foundations to its core.

In the Schizoid American soul, in the mid 1960's both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X seem to be polar opposites of each other: One seeking to change their country using the soulforce of Gandhi's peace which got him assassinated in the 1940's. (early, middle, late I don't know?)

The other demanded from his nation self respect, self determination and above all for his people "Lost in America" to rise up and protect themselves, family, friends, when provoked or attacked. In other words have enough firepower
take out any attacker(s) "By Any Means Necessary."

In a Middle Class America both are seen as enemies instead of mental liberators of stale, stalled, bankrupt policies and laws. And for being loud alternatives constantly harping how to improve and change America. Both are killed.
Sanctioned contracted hits.

That's the unanswered question why kill both, unless seperately they were saying and showing America's two faces simultaneouly to itself.

Its only solution isn't dialogue, neutral meeting places to try hashing out and understand, a people's overboiling anger but also love but leathal means.

I worried about when Ambassador Andrew Young, Jesse Jackson go overseas, diffused problems and return only to be cold shouldered by the U.S.

Now the Honorable Rev. Al Sharpton is going overseas
in his to visit India or Pakistan.

An outspoken civil rights advocate, arrested with three others in May for staging a protest on the inhabited Puerto Rican island of Vieques, where the US military conducts bombing
exercises. (from ABC News)

He's rested up and out of a jail after being released from federal prison in New York. The the old "Free Radical" tag.

But the guy after 3 months and 31 pounds lighter
this 'Freed Radical might just seem a joke especially if his supposed planned trip to India or Pakistan end in De-Nuclear stand down of both countries.

Mr. Sharpton did unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in 1994 and for New York City mayor in 1997.

The way things are going why not try again?

Cornell West, a Harvard professor of African-American studies and philosophy, will head Sharpton's exploratory committee.

And if Sharpton loses again what about Cornell West.

Anyway I worry because if Sharpton does pull a miracle
overseas as soon as he returns or possibly on route assassins may lay in wait because the man could possibly be our next and first truly Black American President of These Yet To Be United States. (The Associated Press) guided me and I thank them.

Well, hope that's food for thought, any ideas? Bye.

PS Next time back to the old Housing Care adds
('gotta do 'somethin with my time on my off days - I may be sitting on my can in someone's home but it'll still be work - uhh, right?
