"The time is always right to do what is right."

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, I would like to know what this statement means to you. 

For me, I think that this statement is more easily followed on a personal level.  There are a lot of people who are trying to do the best thing for others, but this is not reflected in our country right now.  What changes do we as a country most need to make in order to change direction?

I would ask that people keep their comments respectful and as positive towards others as possible.

I think we need to get away from the political correctness because someone is offended. Be learn to be kind and tolerable of others. I also think we need stiffer punishments for those that break the law. Plus punishment needs to be carried out swiftly. Not 20 years later.

To me it means that we should also do good things for others when ever we can.

Do good or don't do!

Always take the time to think what is right and then do it. Even if it is something you might not want to do.

That's a great question. Find some new leaders?

To me? It means do the right thing, right now.

Do what is right, even if in the past it hasn't been done. This that we look at why things are done, even things we don't agree with. For example, in the past punishment has been used in response to crime, yet there is ample evidence that it doesn't work. "A little didn't work, so let's try a lot."
