I know there are people out there who see it, want it, just as strongly, or more as I.
So, 'til my dying day, or it actually happens, I'll continue to dream it, and work, as I can, to make it happen. ...and hope/pray that I can, in my own little way, help it happen.

Sad, indeed.
All the more reason, don't you think, to make sure his and many others sacrifices aren't rendered moot? Or, worse, forgotten?
What better memorial could they possibly want?

Care to elucidate on that a trifle?
It just means that a guy who really had some power to make real change was gunned down in the end. Very sad really. And look at us now.

That's where the live and let live comes into play.
Or... If you prefer...
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you... Or words to that effect.
The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid -- ever -- because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.
'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that -- ever notice that? -- and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over -- not one human being excluded -- and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.

the day earthlings learn unity and to live as a union, then all their problems will start to disappear.

I like it. Anarchy is by no means necessarily an Anomy.

It's hard for people to come together as long as some continue to negatively highlight differences in the name of "equality".
