Robert F. Kennedy shortly before his own assassination said,
" We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We've had difficult times in the past, but we -- and we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land."

  • What's interesting about those great people, or people who become great, is that their unfortunate untimely deaths do serve a purpose.

    That purpose is actually counter to the ends or goals of the evil people who are responsible for the murder.

    Like a great movie with a tragic ending - the emotion it evokes galvanizes those thoughts and emotions in people - even if it appears to thwart it (in the short term) in the eyes of the perpetrators.

    Think how Hitler drove resistance underground and increased it's ferocity in Europe - and drew in outside forces to fight the evil. That's how it works, plain and simple.
