make violent revolution inevitable.
I posted this quote yesterday as a tribute to JFK and because I, too, am feeling this "something" in the air. Didn't get a lot of responses to it so I bring it to everyone's attention here. The original thread ended up with a couple more quoetes:
I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous to the establishment.
-- Statement made in Oliver Stone's film JFK by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison.
... the words of the late John F. Kennedy come back to haunt us. Five years ago he said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." Increasingly, by choice or by accident, this is the role our nation has taken -- the role of those who make peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investment.
-- Martin Luther King, 1967
