MLK day or not?

Today is Martin Luther King day, well not exactly – In Alabama, they do not have MLK day, but REL day, that would be General Robert E Lee Day. Wow…. Sometimes I forget about how this nation is sometimes a melting pot and sometimes a pot ready to boil over. I actually feel bad that today I am not reading some of MLK writings and such, but doing work around the house and getting ready for the 24. I at least I will not spend any time on REL day.
