why is it that the common man is "murdered," while the 'uncommon' man is "assasinated?" Martin Luther Kings, Jr. was assasinated. He was not. Because JFK was a great president, he was assasinated. Because he was a high school student, he was murdered. i wondered this thing when i was seven. what's the difference? is it a title? a number of years? a deed? a though? an action? i always told myself that even though he wasn't a president or leader, he was still great. still assasinated.
ps> i saw you online today. i didn't know if you saw me or not, but i was afraid to talk to you. because i don't know if i know how to anymore, or even if you want me to. i would understand if the answer was no. i really would. but i have something that i saw and thought of you. maybe you'll get it soon...
