I understood what you said, Cynthetiq. Explaining it to me further hasn't handled my disgust.

Neither Gandhi nor King "voluntarily suffered death", by the way. They were both assassinated. Just so you've got your history straight. MASSIVE difference between killing for your values and being killed for them. I wouldn't call either of them martyrs, in the sense generally meant by the term.
