Happy MLK Day

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Happy Martin Luther King Day.

You aren't alone. Either Derek or I (I seriously can't remember...) was confused why we were on a website about milk while working on the history fair. ^^
