I showed these comments to my father... (An old skool Alpha man). He is the Western Region Life Membership Chair... He was pissed off and told me different will be used...
Folks fail to support the parade because the organizers are confrontational for reasons that go beyond medicated comprehension... As you can see from the above list of some titles, they are unwilling to let go of some thoughts...
Most Seattle folks have NEVER seen another cities MLK Parade. If they did, the Seattle folks would feel...
I have a philosophical disagreement. I think the MLK Parade should be about empowering people to be the change or to live to make it better for others. I think that MLK Day should be service-oriented. A day on, rather than a day-off for the
white sale at Macy's.
But as folks read these themes, very few of them discuss any of the aforementioned concepts.
I have very little time in my schedule, but somehow, I keep getting the emails... Aside from finding them quaint and amusing, there may be questions that "certain powerful people in Seattle" are beginning to have about MLK Day and its "validity"...
Justification as a holiday is what is at stake here...
