I'm at peace... I used to bother me a little that some people are stupid, ignorant, and hateful... people like you... But it seems like the wheat and the weeds will always coexist for as long as the human race endures on this planet. A great servant of humanity once told me not to worry about hateful people. As he observed from the warring and contentious history of humanity, "The arch of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

Babe Ruth was 6' 3" tall.
Yes, but according to some folk, anyone that isn't as tall as Wilt Chamberlain is 'short'.

Martin Luther King was a personal friend of yours as well, then? It's actually got to the stage where I am not even surprised that you would claim this.

I'm not surprised that an idiot like you would vomit hate and garbage... King is one of many orators who used that quote... He didn't coin it.

Of course... Everybody was... Who wants a 6-foot tall strike zone??? Ruth was said to have the best eyes in over 200 pairs and could read the spin on the ball... The best reflexes out of every 30 or so players...and one of the best natural swings ever... He did swing at bad pitches... Ted Williams tried not too swing at bad pitches. "Why would anybody throw you a good pitch if you swing at bad ones??? I can tell within a gnat's ass whether a pitch is a ball or a strike."

Which "great servant of humanity" were you talking to, then? They guy who did coin it died in the 19th century.

I'm talking about Andrew Young. I consider him a great servant of humanity and he used the quote to remind me that while social and political work often doesn't have an immediate, tangible effect anyone can see, the collective work of humanity pushes the world slowly towards more just societies.

I met Andrew at the PeachTree Plaza in Atlanta in the 80's. Nice fella.

I would have figured he was talking about Thomas Payne or somebody.

Payne was a very quotable guy... I read him, but never met him... The really weird thing is, we'll meet these characters from History some day.

That's because you are incapable of reading. "A great servant of humanity once told me..." is unlikely to refer to someone who's been dead for 200 years.

Ah, so you were just trying to make it look like you were talking to Martin Luther King.

I live in the real world and respect anyone who does... I respect anyone with a brain who uses it... But some haters and baiters disrespect anyone who doesn't wallow in traditional myths, legends, tales, fables, inventions, and hype -- and they only respond with childish inanities.
