I don't want to be reminded.

I'm staying away from newscasts today. Because Ted Kennedy has died. It's that I don't want to be reminded that he's dead. I lament the loss of a true liberal. And a decent human being. I wish he could have lived longer. In good health. To champion liberal causes. Interesting. Kennedy had friends on both sides of the political aisle. You didn't have to agree with him to respect him. Seems to me that Kennedy was evolving. Throughout his life. Learning from his mistakes. He survived quite a bit longer than his brothers. That was a blessing. Because longevity made him what he was. He needed time. And he got it. --Jim Broede
