GOOD! The city of Jackson is falling apart for lack of leadership and they talk of building a museum. Total waste of time and money. The roads are impassable and the infrastructure is ca-putt but the city leaders want to build something no one will support or visit except the ones who9 want to keep a 200 year old argument going. Piss poor management..........

Perhaps the museum will draw visitors, who spend money...thats what happened in Atlanta, when the MLK attraction opened. It's recently become tainted, what with all the King children squabbling over who gets the most money, but it is a big draw for out of town folks to spend money on food and hotels.

Why else would anybody want to go to Jackson Mississippi anyway?

Will the museum recreate the burning of neighborhoods by black rioters?
How about the killings and looting and vandalism?

Nonviolent social change was the lie of the century!

The civil rights movement was all about violence, threats of violence, intimidation, and blackmail.

But, it was New York that rioted and lynched every black they could find from the lamp posts upon hearing of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

Northerners were supportive of Lincoln's war in 1861 when it was a war to preserve the union. Millions of northerners turned violently against the war when Lincoln changed the stated purpose of the war in 1863 to abolishing slavery. New York residents went on a rampage, hanging blacks who were suddenly blamed as being the cause of the war.

250,000 union soldiers deserted the army after hearing the Emancipation Proclamation.

Even the king papers have been gone through to eliminate the ones that showed king's evil side.

Coretta was such a domineering control freak she made her children miserable their entire lives. They all got back at her by denying her grandchildren. That whole family was Jerry Springer material.

The cash strapped states can save a ton of money by revoking the MLK Holiday. It is a slag legacy left over from the overrated Reagin Administration anyway.

Daily Horoscope for December 3

Sagittarius

You're in rather a downbeat mood, Sagittarius, and you definitely need cheering up. Unfortunately, it's heavy weather at the moment, as Mars slows and the cosmos rather disturbed, but later in the month is wonderful for you. Money problems are particularly difficult to deal with right now, because you can't help worrying about them. Now that prevents you seeing the best course of action to solve them. Relax, even miserable moods soon pass.
