Clearing Brush
Martin Luther King understood and often said that freeing the oppressed liberates the oppressor as well. For myself, remembering that has come to be the never-to-be-forgotten part of celebrating this day.
So it is a hard lesson to hear in my head as I prepare to celebrate the end of the Bush administration (at long last!). It is hard because I desire revenge and the payment for stolen things.
But King had is eyes on a bigger prize. While it would be just if the Bushies were to answer for their acts in a court of law, the best result is if they could never talk the way they did, ever, again.
For that kind of justice, more is required and will be.
