Bobby


Robert F. Kennedy
Born this day in 1925

Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law.
And when the law loses, freedom languishes.

~~~

What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists,
is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant.
The evil is not what they say about their cause,
but what they say about their opponents.



In 1968, when RFK was campaigning for President, in many ways the times were similar to now. If only the leaders were as well. For a trip down memory lane, here is a video tribute to Bobby Kennedy, accompanied by the song, "No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young) " by Queen.
