When a marriage culture fails sexual desire no longer unites instead it fragments.
I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage which is going on 14 years I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead I think of more like 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'
What is marriage but prostitution to one man instead of many?

Every man is the architect of his own life. He builds it just the way he wants it. However after he has built what he wants he sometimes decides that he doesn't like what he has built and looks for someone or something to blame instead of changing himself.
I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

Instead California is one of only 10 states that provides in-state college and university tuition to illegal immigrants. That's grossly unfair to a legal high school student who moves out of California for a year then returns to attend college.
King consciously steered away from legal claims and instead relied on civil disobedience.
