bobby

yesterday was the anniversary of the assassination robert f. kennedy... the closest person i have to a political hero. i read a great tribute article by jim booth describing his experience as a teenager on that day nearly 40 years ago. a quote from rfk...

The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the great enterprises and ideals of American society.

It still is a sad day, for he probably would have won the Presidency and changed the course of history, but instead we got Nixon.
