RFK is one of my favorite politicians of the latter 20th century...if for no other reason than he was able to evolve as a human being and a politician, overcome some of his demons, and fight for what he believed was truly right. His speech on April 4, 1968, in Indianapolis, was priceless. I believe that he probably would have won the nomination and most likely the presidency, had he not been killed in California. But he did get killed, we will never know, and we will always wonder how history would have been changed.


Bobby Kennedy also had a sense of humor, which is why I chose this quote for the day:


"People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him."
