We went down to see RFK Jr, it was GREAT. He gave an excellent speech about this new Waterkeeper program for Lake George and how it will benefit the environment and economy. He has already done this but as a Riverkeeper program with all 150 something East coast rivers! He said, those people on capital hill want to make environmental policy and economic policy different. But environmental policy is economic policy, because the environment directs the economy! He took an opportunity to diss Limbaugh in front of the crowd, and waved at the boat with the "No Bush" sign on the windsheild more than once, lol. After the press conference/speech thing we got to shake his hand and take a picture with him! Very cool. My mom said that having RFK Jr.'s arm around her shoulder was the highlight of her day! :-P
I also saw these two boys and I was SURE they were Kennedys. I've got some pictures and i'll get them developed, maybe you can help me see who they are when I get around to developing them. :)

I had heard about this and it slipped my mind! I am a great admirer of RFK Jr., as well, and had thought of going to see him in person. You went down to see him; I would have had to go up, but it's still not far from me.:-(
I'll look forward to seeing your pictures!:-)

I love the Kennedies and I would had loved to been there but you know I had a good day. I called in on Guy James and Michael both were nice guys like I expected we had a good chuckle about the slaves being migrants according to Bush and I got to hear some DUers for the first time not just reading text but listening to their voices. I hope I didnt sound like a kid though I hear I sounded good.

I'd love to see the one with her mother. And, no, I am sure that you did not sound like a kid. You are well-spoken and I would never have suspected your age if you hadn't revealed it.:D

11. Spoke at my law school |
|
RFK Jr. gave a lecture about the trends and importance of environmental law several years ago that I attended. In retrospect I didn't learn much because I kept thinking, "I can't believe he's here! I can't believe he's here! I can't believe he's here! I can't believe he's here! I can't believe he's here!" (repeat for an hour) :)
