MLK Day

It's interesting living in Phoenix right now.  We are constantly barraged with messages about human rights/civil rights, especially with regard to our friends from south of the border.  But my mind is especially today on the tragedy that unfolded 9 days ago in Tucson...and all the vitriol that seems to be streaming from both sides of the argument.  Dr. King's message truly seems to have been lost in all the posturing; is this really about the "content of our character"?  Do personal attacks on everyone make us better than the rest?  Does one's political affiliation really matter that much when we're talking about being SHOT IN THE HEAD?  She's a person, a child of God, an amazing human being who was doing what she could to better her little corner of the earth.  For heaven's sake, people.  Focus on the real matter at hand.
