Live as brothers or perish as fools


Martin Luther King Jr.
Tonight I came across this quote from Martin Luther King Jr.:


“We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools”.

Interestingly I came across that while read Ross Jackson’s new book, Occupy World Street: A Global Roadmap for Radical Economic and Political Reform” in which he discussed a friend’s attendance at the Copenhagen  Climate Conference in December 2009.

In answer to a question as to why obvious solutions to climate change had not been discussed, his friend said that negotiators claimed “They are not politically feasible.”

A shocked Jackson asked: “What does that mean? Does it mean that it is not politically feasible to save our civilization?
