I'm not dissing King, but there have been many more people who have served much larger rolls in life, how come their Birthday aren't national holidays? im just curious.

Because a lot of them didn't end up becoming martyrs. ;]

What kind of figures are you talking about other than King.

Cereal&Milk · 01-17-2009, 07:56 PM

I assume that would be James McLamore and Samuel Walton.

I kid.
