Signs of the times

To lend insight to the difference of opinion here are a few from a website posting the comments of family and the grandchildren of the late Senator "Teddy" Kennedy: "Buckanddoodle13

NOW MABE MASS CAN MOVE ON AND ELECT A SENATOR WHO CAN ACTUALLY MOVE THE STATE AND OUR COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. KENNEDY WAS AS FAR LEFT AS HE COULD GO, AND TRIED TO TAKE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WITH HIM."

I want you brainwashed zombies to pick up your local newspaper this week. Someone will be killed by a drunk driver. When you read the story, imagine describing the drunk driver as a great and noble man." also: "JOKER DANO

MAYBE SOME DAY WE WILL LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT JFK'S ASSASSINATION. THEN PEOPLE WILL SEE WHAT ANIMALS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS. WHY DID NIXON LIE ABOUT BEING IN DALLAS AT THE TIME JFK WAS KILLED??????? REMEMBER NIXON AND THE BUSH FAMILY WERE VERY CLOSE. GEORGE W BUSH EVEN DATED TRICA NIXON." and this one: "Skc968

Jmadamspa///09:30 AMAug 30 2009///Seriously, how can anyone call him a "great man" ? He was cheating on his wife, got blitzed, drove into a river, left a young woman in a sinking car, walked past a private residence, and a fire station, and returned to his poker game. This is not some sort of crazy right-wing conspiracy theory. This really happened. The authorities made findings of fact. He did not deny that he did this s hit. Why are you trying to convince yourselves, or anyone else, that these are the behaviors of a "great man". That conduct is shameful. Stop bulls hitting yourselves. That is the first step toward recovery.**************Thank you!!! Guess you will be on the list as well. LONG LIVE THE LIST!!!!!"
I was burning with criticism and animosity and wanted to react foolishly from a flesh point of view, then I ushered my thoughts to hear the pain and see the need in these individuals rather then further the evil by reacting in flesh, I responded in spirit with this...

In the honor of free speech I must appreciate even the stupid, derogating and brainwashed agendas, but I should give my own to flavor the cauldron pot of conversation. For those of us(we are one race, one CREATOR and one blood) who embellish on negative from a different perspective, pray for that one and live openly to lend view of diversity with grace and understanding. Attacking one another with silly names and altered judgements intensifies division.
This adorable being Edward Moore Kennedy was perhaps the male version of Mother Theresa dedicating his life to correcting "rights" that should have been privy for the sake of humanity. Sure as all of us with skeletons in our closets, he spent his youth finding himself without the shadow of another. He found himself and his purpose not his father's wish or his brother's dream. His "failures" allowed him to examine his purpose and the platform(Senate for almost half a century) with respect for everyone and their belief. He fought to give voice to those without microphones(acceptance) and to provide liberty for all not just a selected few. If you can't appreciate his faults honor his need to serve which is what he did up until his dying breath. He acknowledged his error of decision in each of the press documented experiences of his life with sincere repentance and dedication to service. I have not in 47 years heard of any public figure that the media and society haven't found something to promote negatively rather than use that negative to show human errors and correction of them, accountability and responsibility. All of us have found excuses to escape the depths of self evaluation and public acceptance. Respect one another and be different but being different doesn't have to divide or conquer just communicate and honor the findings.
