These kinds of stories are interesting. They remind us that history is made up of "just a bunch of guys" who are flawed, just like everyone else. Unfortunately, some people take this too far and only see the flaws.

I bet you're thrilled by the news that Mr. & Mrs. Pitt have reportedly embarked on a collaborative effort that will premier in about 9 months...

So the good always out weighs the bad, and as long as you do enough bad then you can just be whatever else you want to be??????

We all have feet of clay. But some people change the world in a significant way for the better, and Martin Luther King certainly did, and by protesting peacefully. That is to be admired. He was certainly a cut above the shuck-and-jive poverty pimps like Screwy Louis Farrakhan, the Reverend Jackson, and the Congressional Black caucus gang.

No one who doesn't know the South of the '50s, can realize what pressure King was living under. He could have been murdered at any moment. Yet he didn't quit. And my guess is that his wife already knew about the "other" woman. He was confessing his sin to the one whom he had most offended. He was not saintly, but he was a brave, brave man. I am remind of Graham Greene's whiskey priest.
