I was in my livingroom watching TV and the news flash came on. I was only three but remember how upset I was. Even at that age I knew he was a great man. I cried and so did my Mom. I think that was my first experience with death and it scared the crap out of me.

I really couldn't tell you where I was when MLK was shot. I remember seeing it the next day on TV but I really didn't know who he was yet.

I'm really not sure about Bobby either. I know I cried then too but don't remember the details. Long time ago.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
