Very interesting, what a wonderful woman she was.

We live in a different culture today. Some say we are worse off now, when all positive and negative aspects are weighed, and that is for all people, of all faiths and races, believe or not. We are afraid of discipline today, which can not be a good thing in the end, either for society or the lives of all individuals concerned.

@macarthur261 And don't forget his back.

@macarthur261 The book claiming to reveal RFK & Jackie's affair has been rejected by historians. They say that it all based on gossips and not the reality. The affair is in fact not possible, because no matter what sympathy RFK had with Jackie for their mutual loss,but his morality and character does not allow him to abuse their relationship of in-laws in this way.

JFK was the last best president of America.He served his energies more in making US a better country than fooling around, I agree.

@sidrahsiddiqui You know, I agree with you, although it was said that RFK and Jackie had an affair for a while, it would be natural that they did, really, I can understand that, but it has come out that he had his affairs also, they just went public..But I think JFK was really, not too bad...Hell, if JFK had all those affairs, he would have never had the energy to run the country, and if you watch some of his old press confrences, he was quite humble....

@BamaChris such parenting always have negative effects on children, this should never be done. I don't consider her an entirely loving mother, but yes, it is true that despite her harshness towards them, she did love her kids.

@macarthur261 I wonder despite the crookedness that Joe and Rose had, how come Robert F. Kennedy was a different person since the beginning? He was really the only person perhaps, who was a decent human being in all regards in this generation of the family.

@UofLCardFan08 well, i agree with you, but eye for an eye is the Law of the Lord, though He asks from people to observe forgiveness and compassion and justice from Him.

@rs216016 Well said.

She seems so mild and sweet here. She didn't get the credit she deserved for beating her children with coat hangers think Joan Crawford. She was a very bitter and at times mean old lady. Her Grandson David after returning from rehab wanting to stay with her and cousin Caroline, Rose refused to let him stay. He later killed himself in a nearby hotel. I on the other hand, Had a Grandmother who was rich with love and compassion. I inherited far more than far more than she was able to ever give.
