      Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for learniing amazing eulogy speeches minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cooworker at very last got excellent success with it.

The seventies continued to fuel our decline with Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis, the rise of terrorism, Japan's rise to economic dominance, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. We were impotent, a paper tiger so I heard, a shadow of our former selves. Except we weren't. The predictions were wrong then, and I think they might be just as wrong now.

      I think preaching in a church and talking to the people he spoke to helped him with that. He wasn’t a politician speaking blindly to a crowd, he was speaking to people. Just like when he preached, he was just talking to people who had thoughts, needs, and dreams. Even as a teenager who never lived through the civil rights movement, mostly likes to stay out of politics, and disagrees with Kings entire religion, I can’t help but respect the man. A man who fought for what his people needed and didn’t hurt others in the process is one who deserves respect and recognition throughout the ages.

      He was a excellent orator. Not a doubt about that. He was not, however, a good man by any stretch of the imagination. Not at all. He watched a woman get sexually assaulted and laughed about it. Just on the night that happened to be his death alone, Ralph Abernathy said himself that he struct a unarmed woman hard enough to send her across the room in the hotel he was staying at. A serial plagiarizer, cheated on his wife with dozens and dozens of women he got to knew at his speeches and prostitutes. I don't consider someone who follows these actions a "such a good man". Not at all. You should seriously reconsider what you call "such a good man.".

Listening to Robert Kennedy talk about the assassination of his brother and MLK, you can feel what he is feeling. All 3 have something in common... They were all assassinated within the same decade.
