MLK, Jr. Reflections: Name that Source

Monday was the official US holiday in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to the Civil Rights movement.

So in honour of that, I'd thought I'd share three quotes from, let's say, karmically connected sources - I'm not going to provide attribution. Its easy enough to find out on any search engine, but before you look it up - think about who you THINK said it; you might be surprised (OK, *I* was surprised - you might not be...)

Quote 1: "Hate the sin, not the sinner"
Why this was interesting: I've heard this forever and always, and had always assumed that it was a theologically derived philosopohy. Not so much - turns out it has a very secular origin, and the source provided much of MLK's inspiration. And I really should have known this one.

Quote 2: "Good fences make good neighbors"
Why this was interesting: Like "chuffed" or "droll" (or "absence makes the heart grow fonder..."), this phrase is often used in support of the thing that was intended as its antithesis. By that I mean, the originator meant that fences make boundaries, not neighbors, but its taken literally quite often, which is quite ironic. I think Dr. King would have agreed with the original sentiment - being a "together" guy and all.

Quote 3: "If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything."
Why this was interesting: Its kinda of a "philosophical" gimme.... you know, like you said something important, but you didn't really say anything at all. Still makes you feel good saying it!

Clan Wars and Bounty Hunter did a fair job of offering new PvP gaming choices, but they weren't without their problems; in particular, Bounty Hunter was dominated by large clans, which just wasn't how we intended Bounty Hunter to be used. We are aware that this week's Bounty Hunter changes leaves only Clan Wars for multi-way fighters, which does not offer the level of danger and reward that Bounty Hunter did. We can reveal that changes to the Clan Wars arena are at a proposal stage and future multi-way minigames are planned, all of which should alleviate these concerns.It must also be said that Clan Wars and Bounty Hunter were never alone intended as a replacement for the Wilderness.hero online goldimvu creditskal geonknight goldlast chaos goldlineage adenalineage 2 adenawow goldlord of the rings goldlotro goldwow goldworld of warcraft goldbuy wow goldcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingwow goldworld of warcraft gold We saw them as the first in a series of PvP minigames, with other games being briefed that would attempt to cater for all types of PKer. buy wow goldcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingwow goldworld of warcraft goldbuy wow goldcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingeverquest 2 goldeq2 platffxi gilfinal fantasy xi gilmaple story mesosmaplestory mesosmaplestory mesolotro goldlotr goldlord of the ring goldlineage adenalineage 1 adenaWell, the next PvP minigame lineage 2 adenabuy lineage 2 adenalineage ii adenacheap lineage 2 adenaeverquest 2 goldeq2 platffxi gilfinal fantasy xi gilmaple story mesosmaplestory mesosmaplestory mesolotro goldlotr goldlord of the ring goldlineage adenalineage 1 adenalineage 2 adenabuy lineage 2 adenalineage ii adenacheap lineage 2 adenalotro goldlotr goldlord of the ring goldmaple story mesosmaplestory mesosis now finishing development and entering the first round of quality assurance. maplestory mesoeverquest 2 goldeq2 platffxi gilfinal fantasy xi gillineage adenalineage 1 adenalineage 2 adenabuy lineage 2 adenalineage ii adenacheap lineage 2 adenarunescape goldrunescape moneyrunescape goldrunescape moneyWe're certainly very excited about this single-way, runescape goldrunescape moneysilkroad goldbuy silkroad goldsilkroad goldbuy silkroad goldcity of villains infamycov infamyEverQuest goldEverQuest platbuy eq goldeq plateverquest platinumwow levelingwow golddofus kamaskamas dofusdofus kamaskamas dofusdofus kamaskamas dofusone-versus-one safe minigame.age of conan goldaoc goldaoc power levelingage of conan power levelingaoc levelingeq goldage of conan goldage of conan golage of conan goldage of conan goldage of conan goldage of conan goldEverQuest platbuy eq goldeq plateverquest platinumEverQuest goldEverQuest platbuy eq goldeq plateverquest platinumage of conan goldaoc goldaoc power levelingage of conan power levelingaoc levelingage of conan goldaoc goldaoc power levelingage of conan power levelingaoc levelingage of conan goldaoc goldaoc goldaoc goldage conan goldage conan goldage conan goldbuy ffxi gilbuy ffxi gilbuy ffxi gil

The orcs, led by Thrall, suffered a series of setbacks on their journey across Kalimdor's Barrens. Though they befriended Cairne Bloodhoof and his mighty tauren warriors, many orcs began to succumb to the demonic bloodlust that had plagued them for years. Thrall's greatest lieutenant, Grom Hellscream, even betrayed the Horde by giving himself over to his baser instincts.2moons dil2moons goldaion goldbuy aion goldanarchy online creditsanarchy online creditarchlord goldbuy archlord goldcity of heroes influencecoh influencecity of villains infamycov infamyeve iskeve online iskflyff penyabuy flyff goldflyff moneygaia online goldgaia goldge moneygranado espada visgranado espada goldguild wars goldgw goldhellgate london palladiumhero online goldlast chaos goldpirates of the burning sea goldpotbs doubloonragnarok zenyro zenyrappelz rupeerappelz goldrf online goldscions of fate goldsecond life lindensecond life moneystar wars galaxiesswg creditsthe sun onlinethe sun online goldsword of the new world vissword of the new world gold As Hellscream and his loyal Warsong warriors stalked through the forests of Ashenvale,tabula rasa credittabula rasa creditstales of pirates goldvanguard moneybuy vanguard goldvoyage century goldwarhammer gold2moons dil2moons goldaion goldbuy aion goldanarchy online creditsanarchy online creditarchlord goldbuy archlord goldcity of heroes influencecoh influenceeve iskeve online iskflyff penyabuy flyff goldflyff moneygaia online goldgaia goldge moneygranado espada visgranado espada goldguild wars goldgw goldhellgate london palladiumhero online goldlast chaos goldpirates of the burning sea gold they clashed with the ancient night elf Sentinels.
