President Obama's MLK Day message

@BarackObama
Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

but feel so bad for those who thought, the world as they knew it, would end.

For crying out loud!

I've read they fixed it, though, so nothing like that will ever happen again.

Mahalo and Aloha, DesertR

was turned off.. not sure it would have sent the alarm anyway.. there was so evidence of a message being sent.

Which raises the question.. What about those who don't have that type of phone.. would they just be in the dark if a real one ever happened?
