Hot, humid yet quite beautiful Mississippi afternoon

Hot, humid yet quite beautiful Mississippi afternoon... By far my favorite track by Jimi Hendrix (see link below). Humbly my opinion of course, this instrumental should be Mississippi's state song and sole anthem, the complimentary Magnolia banner as the flag as well, or anything else symbolic that has nothing to do with wars and violence. I passionately hold the same position nationally.

Martin Luther King Jr. was quite right when he eloquently sermonized on Christmas Eve 1967...

"We will never have peace in the world until men everywhere recognize that ends are not cut off from means, because the means represent the ideal in the making, and the end in process, and ultimately you can’t reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree... Now let me say that the next thing we must be concerned about, if we are to have peace on earth and goodwill toward men, is the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. Every man is somebody because he is a child of God."

He not only lived and died by his principles, he never violated nor killed others in the name of his principles, not even towards those who sharply countered or gravely threatened him. However upon the aforementioned, simply changing anthems and flags does nothing as long government(s) continue as they are, else new anthems and flags will soon represent wars and violence as well.
   
Come let us Reason (Is 1:18). Peace is always a Choice (Mt 5:9).
