But Shame On All Those United States' Legislators, In Houses of Congress (Whether Federal or State) Throughout the Land, Who Have - However Understandably And Humanly, One Cannot Deny - Ultimately Refused To Bail Upon the Sitting President - For ONE And ONE Reason Alone: They Well Know That So To Do, However Right And Proper And Just (And All The Rest), Could Well (At However Indefinite And Indefinable A Future Moment) Mean/Spell ACTUAL DEATH At The Hands Of A Merciless And Duly Incensed Trump Supporter (The Likes Of Whom Americans Have (Thus Far) Received More Than Adequate, Even Abundant Evidence Of The Existence And Multitude Of Over Recent Days And Years, Not Only In The Recent Events In The Nation's Capital That The Onlooking, Increasingly Aghast Watching, Waiting World Witnessed Upon America's Epiphany, January the 6th)

Sadly proving themselves for time and immemorial the ecclesiastical actors depicted in Jesus' timeless parable of the Good Samaritan, as so aptly and exquisitely characterized in the chapter on the selfsame - 'On being a good neighbour' - in the wonderful little tome of sermonettes entitled Strength to Love, by the man whose birthday is today being celebrated as a public holiday across the length and breadth of the United States of America...

Dr Martin Luther King, Junior - one of the very few 20th-Century prophets our globe has had the immense benefit to have briefly witnessed... 

...and whose own very life, moreover, like that of his beloved Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, was so 'snuffed out' at the hands of (a) murderous assassin/s...

...because he, unlike so many religionists of our supposedly sophisticated day and age, was actually willing and prepared to incarnate the truths he so fearlessly advocated, and even to die for them if need be.

Yes, for the vast majority, practising what one preaches has never been more than a spectator sport...
