From Robert F. Kennedy:

Few will have the opportunity to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, they send forth a tiny ripple of hope and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Great words from a humanitarian whose ideals have largely been lost on American society in today’s times. Even U.S. fallen soldiers are deemed to be “suckers and losers” by our current president.

The saddest part, of course, is that half of our country adores this. We have established entire “news” channels whose programming is carefully orchestrated to teach its adherents to ridicule those who are concerned about others’ wellbeing as “woke communists.”

From RFK — Sr.

Does this guy have a solid point?

Is war a bad thing? What about rape and torture?

Do they point to weaknesses that must be strengthened?

Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.

I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)

Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
