I'm sad for all of us that he didn't live to see his dreams fulfilled, because the world could have been a better place if he could have stayed with us even a while longer.Darrell Icenoglenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-84035231715235506002009-08-26T02:21:07.104-04:002009-08-26T02:21:07.104-04:00I respectfully disagree that this is a sad time Mr...I respectfully disagree that this is a sad time Mr. Levinson. Of course the loss of any great man is tragic, but he lived a grand life and he died of natural causes, rather than by violence met by his brothers. What better way to go than to have lived one's life to its full? <br /><br />Mr. Kennedy served the people of America well. He set out to accomplish much in his life and he was quite successful. Maybe not every single time, but more often than most. <br /><br />He lived a long and fulfilling life with both hills and valleys, triumphs and tragedy. His lived life on his terms and whether another individual that met him agreed with him or not, one would be hard pressed not to respect his standing solid for what he believed was right. <br /><br />This is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of the man, not mourn his passing. The entire country is more wealthy for having had him on our side, fighting for our constitution and our way of life. <br /><br />If we weep this night it is not for him, or in honor of him, but for ourselves and our own sense of emptiness having lost such a hero for many causes. I'm just glad to know he fought the fight, and feel he more than deserves this final rest.ZachsMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736997572266455429noreply@blogger.com
