Free At Last!!

Free At Last! Martin Luther King Jr's words ran true and strong as the killer of the 3 civil rights workers was found guilty of manslaughter. It is always sad when a wrong is judged on earth, it is sadder that after fourty one years that the killer would finally be charged with man's rules. Ideally there should be no murder amongst men, and judgement should be saved for God in some christian virtues. However it is time when those who would use laws to enslave others would themselves find themselves enslaved to the same law.

Free At Last! I am sure many in the civil rights movement of old and new are rejoicing if only to see judgement fulfilled in this time when many of our civil rights are being trampled on. When many of the rights of black people in the United States are being withheld unconstitutionally but to use state legislation to take voting rights away from blacks yet again.

An old piece of legislation that was enacted to stomp on civil rights has been brought back thanks to George W Bush's Republican Party and their appointed judges who have decided that state legislation reigns supreme over the constitution. What a travesty, that means in some of the states that have never revoked slavery today can reinstate slavery if they so wish.

Free at Last. Well free before the cameras but enslaved to the system perhaps.
