Still, that was nothing compared to the morning we awoke to find Robert Kennedy dead. I cannot properly portray the enormity of that loss (first John, then Robert) once we knew all hope was lost. What did we get as a result? Nixon.

Day after Nixon was elected, walking through a large open atrium, I remember wondering if things could get worse. Still that was not as diminishing as the day Robert died. After Robert’s death, well, no losses could be worse. And then things got worse. Just not all at once in one day. Nothing since compares to that stunning loss; as if we had nothing more to lose. Even 11 September never became so oppressive. Even 11 September never created so large a one time feeling of loss. After Robert’s death, it only got worse. More proof that you could not trust anyone over 30. It got worse. But no one day shock has been as tragic as the day Robert died. Yes, the day John died was even more tramatic. But we never had another event as tramatic. 11 September comes close. 11 September never resulted that same feeling of loss; only in a feeling that the nation had something to resolve.

Guess you didn't have any family there, then.

RFK was shot by someone under 30.

Which I figure as evidence you're a toe-tag Democrat. Personally, I've never been a toe-tag anything.

Get a load of this guy: he wants to be accepted as a thoughtful, knowledgeable man, yet he remains incapable of spelling -- or of detecting a spelling error as he types. It's enough to make a man mutter yet again about thalidomide cases.

Which resolve you've done nothing to further, as your last couple thousand postings show, and your failure to pursue or even desire our winning the war shows even more clearly. Comes of unreasonable prejudice against Republicans, something else I do not suffer from. You're not capable of realizing unreasonable prejudices only make you into an idiot.
