And I'm sorry, MLK should not be in there, he was not a representative of Govt, nor did he write Legislation, granted he is important to a minority of the people, he was not around during our founding, he was merely an actor of influence on the population.

I saw an IQ test where one of the questions was: When is Martin Luther King Day?

So if you haven't studied up on that particular Baptist preacher (or else have a government "job" that gives that day off) then you're not only a bad citizen... you're also stupid.

:lol:  I remember when the union ask for Martin Luther King Day off in union negotiations.  After two weeks the company ask when was it!  NOT one union person could tell the company what the date was.  So the company said no!  The company give them one personal holiday to use as they like.
