-Caveat Lector- > Myths of Martin Luther King > by Marcus Epstein
King earned his place in History as a Great American in spite of his naive faith in Socialism and Statism as the great solver of all social / economic ills. He was a brave man who was in the right time and place (as was most historically acclaimed 'great men.') He served as the catalyst to end the unconstitutional disgrace of legalized segregation. For any Fed, state or local public body to permit racial segregation within any publicly funded entity was / is a travesty upon the Constitution. The right to vote is fundamental. The right to equal access to all public services and entities is basic. Not to say that it also is a fundamental right for private citizens and private business's (not receiving public funds in any way) to discriminate to their heart's content. The rest of the statist pap so often associated with King such as 'affirmative action', 'reparations' or racial quotas are flaws which do not take away from his basic great act as the symbol of the destruction of segregation. Of course his assassination added to the mystique but unlike JFK he actually earned his place in History. flw <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
