Robert F. Kennedy once said:
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
One does not have to agree with everything Ted Kennedy stood for to recognize his commitment and his uncanny ability to get bills passed.
May God bless his soul, may he finally rest in peace!
