Lord Macaulay (1800-1859) was an outstanding historian, and a gifted writer. While I dont agree with everything he said, there is much to be learned from him. Consider the following, which I find very appropriate for Martin Luther King day: Many politicians of our time are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learnt how to swim. If men are to wait for liberty till they become wise and good in slavery, they may indeed wait for ever.
