I do not celebrate or acknowledge MLK day and neither does my company. It frustrates me that banks and the Post Office do.

up here we celebrate gen logan day.
in the mid-nineties they decided that one of the main roads in town needed to be changed from Logan st to dr. martin luther king jr blvd. it was said for a long time that the two were completely interchangeable and either could be used. we figured that since the street names were interchangeable, then that must mean the holiday was also.
incidently, they apparently aren't interchangeable any longer, all written references to logan are gone.

And why don't you recognize MLK? Let me guess he's just an uppity ----- in your book. Pathetic what's passing for conservatism these days.

At this time in American history, he is the only person to have a national holiday named for him. Personally, I don't think he was all that great a man, and certainly he does not deserve the only national holiday named for an American historical figure.

Can you imagine that, we traded Washington and Lincoln's birthday holidays for MLK. And then relegated the Father of Our Country and Abraham Lincoln to President's Day.

Absurd
