Voices of Wisdom: RFK


Robert F. Kennedy at the White House, 1964

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."


-Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

1. I assume this is in reference to the OWS movement.

Barack Obama will rue the day that he didn't see this coming and lead. What a wasted opportunity.

As for RFK...oh, what could have been...

5. Well, it is not the first opportunity he wasted.
Health Care Reform Bill.

BP Oil Spill.


And ninety nine percent of the people he has appointed, who link him in with the Big Military, Big Bankers, Big Pharamceuticals, and Big GM Famine Food Corporations.

4. Exactly.
And his brother before him.

And that is also why they are never forgotten.
