Every now and again, one comes across a piece about an issue that shows just the right empathy for those that oppose, but stands steadfast in its principle nonetheless. The kind of piece that makes one think, "Damn, I wish I'd wrote that."
While I have to admit to being a tad biased (we do share a wee bit of the same blood) this piece by the King is one of those such pieces.
I'm proud of you, Son....

I see myself walking with The King
A nice response from the King on my post on the state of the Democratic party (scroll down, I'm too tired to make another link).
A brief response:
I'm at the tail end of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and it has become somewhat disconcerting to see how the Democratic party, while throwing at least a few more bones to the poor and middle class than Republicans, are really not much better at combatting the military-industrial complex in this country (and, in fact, more often than not supporting it). I've spent a few days thinking about it, though, and really see no other alternative other than to keep supporting the party (third parties are pointless in America, despite the limited success of the Tea Party), and keep working from within to change it for the better and make it live up to its ideals.
What the fuck, Son, we're Giants fans: we're dedicated believers in the impossible.
