Check out this quote! I dont know who made it, but I saw it on one of my friends facebook statuses, and thought it was GREAT!
I made an image to go along with it to pop into your sig on other sites, so if you want you can use it!
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked so Barack could run. Barack ran so our children can FLY."

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Elusive Spartan NO -blam!- -blam!- CHILDREN CANT ACTUALLY FLY YOU DIRTY TWITS. The POINT IS, the quote has MEANING, and it doesnt LITERALLY mean FLY you idiots. Christerizer. Its like dealing with 50 retarted hicks all watching a truck pull.[/quote] To me, the quote is trite and asigns a status not yet earned. I consider Ms. Parks and Dr. King to be people of character who lived by their principles throughout their entire lives. President (Elect, depending on the time) Obama is still (for me) a politician who has an opportunity to be considered along with those two pioneers, but he has to show the "content of his character and not just the color of his skin" to paraphrase and quote the good Reverend. Don't assume that because people don't share your awe that they are hicks or ignorant. This is a political topic, and now is locked. A sense of humor might have saved it.
