I have another Dream
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

This is my speech for comp...
Candy Store Skit:
Stage Set Up:
A candy shop. Use counters and shelves to place an assortment of candies about. Remember to place your Jelly Bean Jar on the top shelf!
Supplies:
• Tins or plastic containers labeled “Jelly Beans”, “Gum Balls”, “Gummi Bears”, etc… (It’s easiest to cover a number of old boxes with white or brown paper and use a marker to label them as different candies.)
• An apron for your old candy shop keeper to wear.
• A cane for shop keeper.
• Ladder for shop keeper to climb to top shelf for Jelly Beans. This ladder should be stored off stage.
Actors:
4 young hooligan boys or girls.
Scene Script:Four guys enter the candy store that is run by an old man (bent over, shaky voice, beard and cane).
Kid 1: I’ll have a dime’s worth of jelly beans.
(The old man/shop-keeper notices that the jelly beans are on the top shelf and sighs heavily.)
Shop-Keeper: Are you sure you want jelly beans? I’ve got great gummy bears right here…
Kid 1: Nope. Jelly Beans please.
Shop-Keeper: (He gets a ladder and with much pain climbs to the top, gets the jelly beans and comes down the ladder. He weighs a dime’s worth of jelly beans, screws the lid on the jar and climbs up the ladder to replace the jar. Giving “Kid 1” the small bag of jelly beans, he looks at the next kid and says…) “Next?”
Kid 2: I’d like a dime’s worth of jelly beans please.
Again, the Shop-Keeper sighs.
Shop Keeper: Are you sure? This red licorice is nice. Or how ‘bout some chocolate pieces?
Kid 2: I really like those jelly beans. I want them.
(The old Shop-Keeper gets the ladder, and climbs up again. He counts out a dime’s worth, gives them to the kid and returns the Jelly Beans to the top shelf. Then he puts the ladder away and looks to the third kid.)
Kid 3: Guess what…I love jelly beans. I was thinking about changing up to licorice for today. But maybe I should stick with what I know I like.
Shop Keeper: Yea, sure. You should try the licorice for a change.
Kid 3: Hmmm. Change scares me. I think I’ll go with the jelly beans. A dime’s worth please.
Shop-Keeper:(Sho p-Keeper moans and gets the ladder. He climbs up, gets the jelly beans. This time while he is up there, he asks the last person…) "I suppose you want a dimes worth of jelly beans too?"
Kid 4: No.
(The Shop-Keeper comes down and returns to the counter. He counts out a dime’s worth and then returns the jar to the top shelf, climbs down and returns the ladder to the off-stage storage space.)
Shop Keeper: "Now, what do you want?” He asks the fourth kid.
Kid 4: I want a nickels worth of jelly beans.
(The old man/Shop-Keeper chases him out of the store with his cane, shouting.)

Rape
The majority of women think of rape as a stranger jumping out of the bushes and sexually assaulting her. This is a good news and bad news situation.
The good news is that the "jump out the bushes rapist is A) the rarest type and B) the easiest to avoid and prevent. The same measures that keep you from being robbed will protect you from being sexually assaulted in this manner. So the odds of this happening to you are pretty rare to start with and a few simple, commonsense measures will greatly reduce those odds even further.
Now, for the really good news, if you are not associating with a certain kind of people or engaging in high risk behaviors, the odds of you being raped plummet close to zero.
Unfortunately, that is the last of the good news.
The bad news is that the reality of rape is not simple. It is, in fact, a complex problem. And complex problems seldom, if ever, have simple solutions. An undisputed truth is that "stranger" rapes only constitute a minute number of rapes. An overwhelming majority of sexual assaults occur between people who know one another, sometimes intimately, sometimes peripherally, but it is someone you have regular dealings with.
That means it is not just a simple "crime" nearly as much as it's human interaction. That is where things start getting complicated.
With that complication, however, comes a very important point: The very fact that it is a matter of human interaction gives you influence on what happens. Being sexually assaulted is something you have a large degree of control over -- for both good and bad effect.
Agendas, slants and biases
As if it weren't complicated enough, rape takes its place right up with politics, religion and child safety as a subject that will evoke irrational, knee-jerk and violent reactions when it is broached. Unfortunately, you cannot approach this subject reasonably until you are familiar with the various agendas, spin doctoring, and biases that affect the information that you will receive. It is sad to say it, but much of what is being taught as WSD is not reliable self-defense information. We consider this an important point because some of these agendas are so extreme, if you follow their advice, they will, in fact, increase your chances of being both sexually and physically assaulted. Our no nonsense approach (and our response to the hate mail we get) is right here and in the open.
Facts about rape
Facts, myths and misconceptions about rape
Human mating behavior
Rape is a parasite that hides within a very normal human behavioral pattern. By recognizing the original goal and intent of the human mating behavior, we can recognize when the process is going awry. Dr Desmond Morris's 12 steps bonding process and how, this process of establishing intimacy can relate to rape when it goes wrong.
High risk behavior
High risk behavior won't guarantee that you will be raped. But if you are sexually assaulted, odds are it will have been a major contributing factor. As there is a profile for rapists, there is a common profile for the women who are raped. There are certain behaviors and attitudes that will put women in serious danger.
Officer Ken Pence from the Nashville police force has created a "Rate Your Risk" quiz to assess your danger. We suggest you follow this offsite link and take the test.
Personal responsibility vs. blame vs. rights
furthering the defensive driver analogy we come to the liability issue. It is not uncommon among young inexperienced drivers to have an attitude that they don't need to adopt defensive driving posture because "if the other guy hits me, it will be his fault." These people are speaking from a confidence borne from a lack of experience. It is easy to have this flip attitude- and tailor your actions accordingly - until things go "sideways". But by then it is too late. To avoid crashing in this manner a person needs to have an understanding about difference between blame, rights and personal responsibility
