Day 29: Civil Rights leaders Penn & Teller

I found it rather irritating the other day when on Facebook, many people started throwing a purported MLK quote around, chastizing Americans for celebrating the death of mass murderer / most wanted man in history Osama Bin Laden. The quote started with this strangely appropriate line: "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy." Sounds right on. Well, it is actually the words of civil rights leader / philosopher / Vegas magician Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame (the rest of the quote after that line was actually MLK). He claims it was an honest mistake. Read here. In the same spirit, I would like to quote Canadian conservative philosopher / political leader / washed up pop star Celine Dion, when she says "near, far, wherever you are / we will hunt you down and kill you."
