Today's Word—Think Again

Thinking Is Hard Work:

“Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.”
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968), civil right leader

News Note: In re. yesterday's repurposing of my 1999 column on Martin Luther King Jr., the Utah State Legislature opened yesterday on MLK Day to protests from minority groups, including the NAACP; a legislative leader referred to the day as "Human Rights Day," which the holiday was named until Utah became the last state in the nation to rename it for the slain civil rights leader.
