Minor Deity![]() |
My father (gone 30 years now) memorably told me about King's many flings. I always wondered why it wasn't in the news if it was true (JFK sure was!). Dad said when men became powerful (and also usually rich too), they rarely proved able to resist the countless attractive women who almost literally threw themselves at them right and left. I guess that's one thing we have to credit Pence for (probably, anyhow). Sad - and (speaking as a woman) - vastly irritating too. I guess the need for a black hero was so great, his feet of clay were just ignored as an important policy decision. His pretty wife must have agreed with that aspect of his sanctiication. (Never heard anything about the alleged rape he witnessed - and more. I'd like to think it is untrue. Sometimes it is just too much of a downer to keep track of all the dirty laundry connected to pretty much all our heros. When in doubt, there's always Mister Rogers and Thich Nhat Hanh (do NOT care for much of what I've heard about Gandhi re his own traits as a husband and comments about Jews. Blekh.)
