The Teaching Company is offering a free download of a lecture on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. . This seems timely beyond the celebration of his birthday. Not only was he a master at the use of communication and media, he was a champion of personal freedoms. This seems like something good to think about at a time when people seem ready to give it up in exchange for the illusion of order and security. Personal freedom is not in my optional column. Besides, while I understand the need for a jobs program, think of the amount of actual job training that the homeland security budget could supply. Instead of protecting us from uncertainty and change, we could be preparing people to flourish in it.
