"Luke, I'm your father."
Oh sure you are Vader, first you cut off my hand & then you drop this bombshell in my lap?
Dead beat dad is more like it. You missed quite a few child support payments & instead of a hug; you chop of my hand? What did mom see in you other then thin skin, a huge ego, & court sanctioned anger management classes the rest of your life? LOL!

"1965- Malcolm X is assassinated"
This fateful day still infuriates me to this day. Malcolm had a brilliant mind, came full circle from "The Chickens have come home to roost" to the Civil Rights Movement needs people of every race, gender, & creed to promote lasting change for the better.
I hold Malcolm in higher esteem than I do Martin Luther King Jr. today actually.
