Does this mean that people never learn, or that we have the willpower to make the right choice? Incredibly apt quotation - it could have been written for today.

Though tempting, it is dangerous to transfer a quote - sans context - to a cause King never advocated. So far as sustainability requires us to redefine prosperity, his views are sort of applicable. But this type of quasi-association is easily read as appropriation, which is off-putting in the extreme. This applies even more to the later post on green prosperity. Comparing his assassination to a Kansas congressional vote? to a 'green dream' that is not King's? Please. (I understand you didn't write that, but it's on your blog) Joe, I am an admirer of your blog, but this was a misnamed entry.
