"When evil men (and women) plot,
good men (and women) plan.
When evil men (and women) burn and bomb,
good men (and women) must build and bind.
When evil men (and women) shout ugly words of hatred,
good men (and women) commit themselves to the glories of love.
Where evil men (and women) would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo,
good men (and women) must seek to bring into being a real order of justice."
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As We Approach Martin Luther King's birthday...
Considering the recent politically motivated killings in Tucson I think the following words by Dr. King are appropriate. This is a distinction between good and evil, not necessarily aimed at one politica party or another. There are evil people everywhere. However, I'm certain that there are many more good people on each side of a dispute than those who may be deemed evil by society.
