Agree to Disagree

Thu, 04/14/2016 - 00:10 -- m.lee17

Can you imagine 

a world where

Galileo says to the church,

"Yes, you're right

the sun does revolve around the Earth"

and Rosa Parks does not fight

when told to sit in the back of the bus? 

I certainly can't imagine

a world where we cannot discuss

different ideas, different perspectives.

 

Without freedom of speech

we would not have heard Martin Luther King Jr. preach

we would not have progressed so much today

if we all agreed, 

"Yes, you're right

the sun does revolve around the Earth."

No, 

it does not.
