Not really, since CW3 was just quoting MLK.
Pretty sure I'm supposed to be banned, someone might want to get on that.

Quote from: GoodMorning on December 01, 2016, 05:58:30 PM"Build a ladder to the moon" is simple as a sentence, but actually doing it is not.

I think Karsten knew that, since he said:

Or maybe you were being sarcastic, or ironic, or ironically sarcastic, or sarcastically ironic. Poe's law.

It actually started here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Parker
Quote
Parker predicted the inevitable success of the abolitionist cause this way:
"I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice."
