While I think MLK had the right idea about how to bring about change, his quote "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." takes him outside the realm of his philosophy. There is no place in the Constitution that allows our government to spend more on "social uplifts" than it does on military defense. There is no clause about social uplifts. Like many other great men, when they talk about things outside their own expertise, they blunder. In Jeremiah Wright's case, I haven't heard evidence of expertise in anything except bigotry.
