...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

I just saw Judge Joe Brown on Tavis Smiley, making sense and talking real about James Earl Ray and the FBI.

msg comment at Body and Soul:
Fox CNN "News" conflated somewhat:

Anti-war environmentalist flight attendants beating conga drums marched around in circles while a reverent Bush met quietly with Coretta Scott King.
Later, at a fund-raiser, Bush said addiction is a problem of the heart, therefore government can't help. The assumption possibly being because government is heartless.
Faith can help though, and faith is under the sole-ownership of organized religion.
"The playing field is now level," said Bush. Meaning organized religion was now able to bid for government contracts alongside Halliburton and Bechtel.
"It's important for our country to honor his life and what he stood for. Dr. King understood that faith is power greater than all others," also was said by Bush.
That King was a man of action, and non-violent action exclusively, seems to have escaped his notice. That faith alone was not enough for Dr. King, that he found it necessary to risk, and ultimately sacrifice, his life, was not mentioned by Bush.
The recent FBI smear campaign itemizing King's extra-marital affairs was also not mentioned by Bush.
And certainly the King family's public statements proclaiming their belief that there had been a conspiracy to assassinate, and another, so far effective, conspiracy to cover up that conspiracy to assassinate, Martin Luther King, was also not mentioned by Bush.
Coretta Scott King had no comment on her meeting with the President.
