Reply #78: your sig pic makes me cry! [View All]

I was born in 1970, and never really knew the Kennedys except for pieces of speeches and policy saved for posterity.

They look like three young brothers here, and I think about how much LIFE laid before these men. And two of these boys have never changed from that picture, they are eternally seen as their potential. How very sad for us as a people to have been denied the country and world we could have if we had let the progressive idealism really get a chance to create, or express it self.

Maybe that's one of the things that makes me scared to hear anything about RFK's demise at this juncture.
What's at stake is a paradigm shift that hangs in the balance. If we stay on target (no pun intended)with the same way of thinking - creating polarity in the classes, races, nations...we can never tackle the issues we face as a species.Obama may not be my first choice, but he HAS taken the high road, on Many occasions. That is the thinking that creates bridges acros these divides - not hate and cynicism.

And, I don't want to project hate at Hillary for her comments...just consider the source and stay focused on the real issue at hand.
And, I fear that the voice of the progressive is in danger of being muffled under a pillow...so we need to be vigilant.

Speak up, stay posiive and support those who know it isn't about THEM - but the People. If we know what happened to the Kennedys, and MLK, can we keep history from repeating itself? It takes being loud, and standing up and pointing out injustice to All types.
