Disservice

I'm going to bed feeling like the average bad American citizen. Today was Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I didn't do anything about it. He was awesome, yeah, everyone knows that. He did more than any of us will ever accomplish collectively. Today, we are kind of regressing, losing his gains. But I can't say why that is or what exactly it was that King did in his lifetime. I feel really bad about this. Like, why can't we learn more about the Civil Rights movement in school? Then again I do go to school with primarily upper middle class white playboys, but that's another story. Sorry, MLK. You worked wonders, apparently, and I will make it a project to learn more about you. Perhaps if you were born in spring I'd be more ready to go out and do something for the community/human race. The warm weather just gets the activist-juices flowing. Once again, sorry MLK. :(
