Depending on its state, it can scald you or freeze you in the presence of certain organic molecules. It conform carbonic acid so nasty that they can strip the leaves from trees and eat the faces off statuary in bulk. When agitated, it can strike with a fury that no human edifice could withstand.

But what if I told you that there is a way that life can easily be easy and hardly be hard at all? What if I told you that rather than being a do or die ordeal, life can be duck soup?

Everyone does your child in one hand a rope together suitcase in the other, you strain to see over the blur of hats and waving arms. Two weeks of folk songs and boiled potatoes and seasickness are almost behind you, like the village and everyone you've ever known. Now if only you could see something, anything. And then suddenly it appears as if you willed it into being the statue of the proud lady they told you about. You kiss your little girl and hold her up on your shoulders so that she, too, may see the future. In 1954 Martin Luther King accepted the pastoral of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was by this time a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation.
