40 years ago, on this very day, Martin Luther King, protector of the rights of the african american people, was assasinated in memphis. Though the world has changed and lives have been improved, humankind is still faced with the very real problem of division and segregation.
Friends (and i say this not with a sarcastic tone, but with a tone of complete and utter seriousness that i rarely display), we as a class, have fallen prey to that exact same sin of division that Martin Luther King sought to dispose of. Like so many before us, Judah and Israel, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, France and England of the 1700s, we have succumbed to human nature and civil war among our class seems all too likely to erupted.
Kings and Queens, we can stop this right here and now. The faults lay not so much among individuals, but upon the entire population of the class. Sure some of us may not see ourselves as being guilty, for no fellony has been committed upon our part, but the fact of the matter is, we are all responsible. Even i, the angellic student (hahahaha), am in part responisble for this division. Now is the time to solve this problem, and what more apt a time can there be? 40 yrs on from the death of Martin Luther King's, we can remember his memory, by putting aside our differences and sheathing our swords.
I leave now with some words of advice. Take them to heart if you feel im directing it at you. I wont name names. And if you're pissed with me after this... So be it. To some, try to be less bossy... To others understand the need for personal space... and To others... GeT OuT of mY HAIR!!! haha i was joking about the last one. Seriously, this is of profound and lasting importance. I for one am not going to enjoy a WoW trip with the class if i dont put to rest some of these matters that lay between us.
As a class, let us dispel the threat of war and division, put aside our differences and look past these omnious clouds of despair that threaten the unity of our beloved class.
Heed these words my brothers and sisters.
For Once... In ALL SERIOUSNESS
