If I ruled the world: “If I ruled the world…”; am I the only one that’s ever wondered what it’d be like? I feel like it’s one of those passing thoughts that seem to cross your mind‚ like why don’t English singers have an accent when they sing‚ or how the quote “head over heels” originated; since we’re head over heels normally? But‚ what I mean‚ is whenever you listen to the news on TV or on the radio and hear about an epidemic striking the world like the H1N1 flu or another war‚ don’t you ever

King’s "I Have a Dream Speech" evokes genuine emotion inside me each time I read it. Its intense message is ageless‚ and will ideally beat all biases: the past‚ present‚ and future.

weekend‚ I think it’s worth considering the question posed by Frederick Douglass. The following are excerpts from a speech he gave in 1852 at an Independence Day commemoration sponsored by the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society in Rochester‚ NY. A longer excerpt and a link to the full text of the speech can be found at my blog. Fellow-citizens‚ pardon me‚ allow me to ask‚ why am I called upon to speak here to-day?
