I am torn by the difference between John, Bobby and Ted.
I was alive when John was elected, and when he was assasinated.
No matter what happened in their pants, I still think they were honorable men.
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
We need challenges like that. Not just challenges that "I'm gonna kill anybody that gets in my face"
The cold war is over. Now, we must do what is right.
I wondered myself as I watcehd last week. I think what you see in Ted is man that has sold out. He traded every shred of dignity and principle to those that could and do give him power. I have wondered to if he is not still beholden to those who helped him walk away from a capital offense. Either way, he is sold out.
