His mother did not want him flying , because I suspect she knew he was going to fail at that. He waited to train as a pilot after she died.
Because he was a Kennedy, he became the anointed one. Even though a failure, a Senate seat was waiting for him. If he was still alive he could possibly be the Democrat front runner for a Presidential nomination.. Maybe this Presidential cycle.
Instead, he killed himself, his wife and sister in law .
Was this the type of person you would want as a Senator or President? Harsh statement, but true.
At least he had the sense to dump Daryl Hannah!
Well said.
