Don't underestimate the establishment's ability to sacrifice itself in a self-righteous cloud of ideological nonsense.

All this MLK stuff is weird. These days, he's an honorary Founding Father in terms of how people appropriate his various quotes and actions to support their own views.

Great people (and clearly, MLK rose to greatness, as did many of our Founding Fathers) are both products of their time and products of their character.
