A great American. I salute her.

I didn't realize she was still alive. But what a change she helped bring about. R.I.P. (I'll never understand people. For instance, before Rosa Parks... separate drinking fountains -- insanity! Where was the church all those years that should have spoke out against discrimination?)

My favorite Rosa Parks related thingy...

The state of Missouri named a stretch of highway adopted by the Ku Klux Klan the "Rosa Parks Highway."

LOL @ Rosa Parks Highway... adopted by KKK. RIP, it takes balls to start a revolution. Paradigm shifts don't happen by temselves. We need people like Rosa to say *eff-this, I've had enough and now I'm taking a stand!*

except she DIDN'T say "F*** this" because she was a classy lady who used manners and therefore made more of an impact than being belligerant would.

RIP Rosa, She showed that civil disobedience can be civil and effective.

Hey Croc:

I would really appreciate it if you just stopped interacting with me. If and when you have something to say to me, just don't. Mmmm-kay?

A truly inspiring person who stood up for what she believed in and helped send a tidal wave of change throughout the nation.
