Say Hallelujah [VIDEO]

I deticate the below to him:
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone
Close your eyes
And bow your head
To rest your soul
And to praise the dead
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone
Calvin Coolidge Quote
"We cannot do everything at once but we can do something at once." -- Calvin Coolidge
About Calvin Coolidge
John Calvin "Silent Cal" Coolidge was the thirtieth US president, ascending to the duty after the death of Warren Harding.
He was born in Vermont on July 4, 1872.
A woman once bet that she could get the tight-lipped Coolidge to say three words during dinner.
His response: "You lose." As president, he was a Federalist, believing in local self-rule, though he lowered taxes and reduced the national debt, inciting the growth of the Roaring Twenties.
He died in 1933.
Martin Luther King Jr quote on celebrating death
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." -- Martin Luther King Jr
Apparently he didn't actually say that first part but it sure sounded good.

MAY 2011 EDIT:
There seems to be quite a bit confusion about what Martin Lurther King actually said. The first sentence in the quotation is by Jessica Dovey. She posted her thoughts on Facebook about Osama bin Laden's death and followed them with a MLK quotation. Subsequent re-posters left out the quotation marks separating her thoughts from Dr. King's.
Here is the full quote in it's entirety, from A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Are we seeking power for power's sake? Or are we seeking to make the world and our nation better places to live. If we seek the latter, violence can never provide the answer. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
LOVE is the key! Only LOVE.
