Militarism--One of Dr. King's Nightmares!

Here's a link to an essay I wrote for the Huffington Post, pointing out that although there is always a lot of talk about Dr. King's "dream," there is usually a lot less discussion of the need for a "true revolution of values," particularly concerning the big nightmares that Martin Luther King, Jr., warned us about: racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.

If we need some money to pay for health care, a green jobs economy, and a recovery program, might I suggest the military budget as a place to search?
