Martin Luther King, I have a dream
You know about it, but have you ever watched it?

he liked his similies, did martin
While I agree with the sentiment, i find his speech overly flowery, and that preacher trick of getting louder and louder doesn't do it for me either. I prefer people who speak more plainly. "out of a mountain of despair a stone of hope" indeed. Maybe some gravel of disenchantment to go with that.
"Well, what did he talk about, Rudy?"
"I don't know, something about having a dream?"
"A dream?"
"Well, there was other stuff there. A desert of human kindness or patio of oppression or something. But he definitely said a few times that he had a dream"

perhaps
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character."
nailed it though.

yeah, his best lines are his direct ones, but there very few of them.
I understand the importance of the speech in the context of the black civil rights movement, I just don't think on its own merits it's a great speech, there's too much preachy waffle for my liking. Now if you want a great speech, listen to the 3/4 time rev-up by the coach at the 2004 Riverina footy grand final

But in the end his children used his speech to fuck over copyright law so they could live off his words, and prevent his message from reaching a wider audience so they could make money.
That's why yo don't hear this speech very often - usually people who post it get sued.
