Get Up, Get Out, and Get Something
From Scoop Jackson's ESPN.com Page 2 article about Kwame Brown's complete inability to live up to his #1 pick hype.
Al Sharpton has this saying:
"If someone comes in your office and knocks you out of your chair there's nothing you can do about it. But if that person comes back an hour later and you are still lying on the floor it's no longer that person's fault that you are on the floor. Staying there is all on you."
He uses this scenario to discuss apathy in groups of people, races of people, generations of people, life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I say this with a completely straight face...
Al Sharpton is one of the clearest thinking public figures in US Politics. Period.
