And days later ....... Senator Ted Kennedy eulogized his brother Bobby by quoting George Bernard Shaw: "Some men see things as they are and say 'Why?' I dream things that never were and say, 'Why not?'"









What might have been ...... what ...... might ...... have ....... been?

3. Where JFK's loss was painful and left us with an unfulfilled potential, I truly think .........

..... RFK's murder literally turned the course history.

2. I just read a "whatever happened to" on MSNBC regarding the

bus boy Juan Romero, who is pictured in the very famous photo of him holding Robert Kennedy's head after he was shot.

so heart breaking.

I was a kid when this happened. Just a few weeks before, he came through our little town and my mom got to shake his hand.

She told me, "that's our next president!"

Even with Viet Nam, race riots, also sorts of war protests, there still was this charming yet naive feeling about the president of the US. He still was the leader of the nation and demanded our respect regardless of how you felt about his policies.

We have fallen so far. We have lost so much. We have had so much of our soul taken away.

I look back on his death, not just the death of the man, but the death of a dream, of a hope. As I grew older and read about Robert Kennedy, it makes my heart sick over what was lost that day.

At the end of each day, especially these last 7 long years, I still have this grain of hope deep inside me. I just refuse to give up on that. I can't. but some days, it's so hard, you know?

I hope to what ever god or gods their maybe or not be, Obama will restore some sort of dignity back to the office. Some sort of hope of what can be done. And to challenge us as Americans to do the right thing again.

We need that. I think more so, we want that.

so as this day comes and goes, please take a moment to ponder a future that is filled with hope for at this point in our nations history, this honestly is all we have left.

Thank you Senator Robert Kennedy.
