| I have a dream I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. God bless you all. |

Many more people are choosing to donate a kidney, part of a liver, bone marrow, etc. while living. Over 2,000 living donors last year alone. Many of those were unrelated to the recipient. Not for everyone by any means. But you're right about the blood. Everyone that is able, should.

I just wouldn't want anyone to get my eyes. I swear I'm going blind and refuse to wear glassess. Last edited by missyhot; 07-11-2006 at 04:47 PM. |
