But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But we can change it any time we want.Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.

@flapstones For those wondering, that's from Bill Hicks, I highly recommend watching American. Great documentary on Bill.

The u.s.a. could be a great country. It has always had the potential to be great, but it has never succeeded. Too often it has been too slow to help others and too quick to attack what it does not understand. Maybe this one man, Obama, can change this. I hope he does, but he is only one man. We as a people, as a species must change together or we will seperate and kill each other. Let us live in hope, not fear...

RFK made this speech the day after Dr. King's assassination. He knew that he would become one of the ones taken down by the mindless menance of violence.

Even before MLK's assassination, he told his closest friends, "There are guns between me and the White House." He and Jackie Kennedy predicted his assassination. His campaign aides also knew it was only a matter of time. Evil Lyndon Johnson tried to prevent his burial at Arlington Cemetary. RIP RFK. Your words will never die.

I have never heard a more perfect balance of emotion and sense, spoken and penned so perfectly. What an incredible man. RIP

ust tell the truth when I repeat that when someone dares to speak truth to the American people give it a shot in the head, if not so deny me and let the people speak?

@gfnfgr We've had our moments: Our victory in the war for independence, Abraham Lincoln's presidency, the defeat of Hilter....the goodwill our citizens contribute to other countries...the creative and scientific contributions we've given humanity...We've succeeded many times. We've left our mark. Historically, we're on a roll...but you and I both know we have been far from perfect...and the country has gone astray several times in our life time...but never take the good for granted.
