Passing of a Lion...

There will be many eulogies for Senator Edward Moore Kennedy.

I did not know the man. I did not always agree with him. But I can not doubt his sincerity and the profound effect he, personally has had on the American polity.

With out this man, I may not have been able to go to the school of my choice. My grandparents/parents wanning years would have been/be more fraught with uncertainty and dread. The sheer number of causes this man has championed is staggering.

But I think the most appropriate tribute would be these comments by Vice President Joe Biden.


Despite the mans obvious flaws, he was an intensely human individual. We need more people with his passion to help
his fellow man. Not less.

-Cheers
