The Mountaintop Speech

I think the most polarizing speech to date is the Mountaintop Speech that Martin Luther King Jr. gave the day before he was assassinated. I heard the audio from the speech some time back, and his closing lines just stuck with me. It was as if he knew something was going to happen, and he told his fellow people that he may not make it with them over the mountaintop, but he has seen it, and they will all get there. He let them know that he has no fear of what may happen to him in the upcoming days, because he has done God's will by getting them to the mountain top. He is so fulfilled and full of hope that they will finally reach the "promise land." If you haven't heard this audio, I suggest you do, it's an amazing piece of our history.

AHH RADIO

I love the radio. I listen to sports radio everyday, and have for about three years now. I used to listen to it all day at work, and it made my day fly by. I just can't get enough of sports talk, eventhough they say the same thing all day, radio makes it more interesting than television. With the radio programs, you get somebody's personal twist on things. I personally like Mike & Mike in the morning, and The Herd with Colin Cowherd. They're great shows, and very entertaining. I was just thinking about how radio is so much more convenient than television in the fact that you can do multiple things while listening to radio. You can't exactly do much watching tv, and for that I think that radio will never die, like our newspapers are.

Week 6

I watched a clip from the Untouchables called the "White Slavers." In this episode Ness was trying to bring down an illegal prostitution ring run by Al Kapone (who was doing it from jail) and Mick Torrance. It showed both sides, the villians and the heroes. Each had a plot to bring down one another. I didn't get to see the end result, but Ness was bringing down all of Torrance's small operations to bring in the women, so I can only assume that good was going to prevail. To start out the episode and attract the viewers, there was a huge gunfighting scene. It surprised me that there was so much gunfire. The extent of my classic television knowledge is mainly Mission Impossible, where gunfire is minimal, but technical attacks and trickery are more acceptable.
