We have lost a person whom represented the best hope in humankind. The Kennedy name means so much to the underdogs of the world. They dream of a better place for all. The death of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy gave their lives for the betterment of society. Sure they were political and far from perfect, yet they had dreams of at least trying to do something. Now, we watch the passing of their younger brother Ted M. Kennedy. This is a true lost for the voiceless.
Ted Kennedy represented our best hopes. Yeas he was liberal, but he had compassion. He understood pain and suffering. He and his family are rich, but they cared for the less fortunate. He fought for human rights.
Even the conservatives acknowledged his compassion although they did not agree with him on many issues. We can all learn from this imperfect man. Sure he had problems. Yet he always fought the good fight. We say good-bye and sail on in the dream of a better place. The world says good-bye.

Ted Kennedy wanted Health Care
Rest in peace Sen Edward Kennedy. The nation lost a real fighter for human rights. His death is the end of the old liberal ideals of a great society and new deal. The end of dreams of a nation for everyone living in brother and sisterhood. The dreams of Camelot, the perfect world.
America is the only major industrial nation with out universal health care,yet we spend more than any other nation. This was Sen. Kennedy's issue. The Kennedy Family has historically fought the losing cause. Civil Rights, Human Rights, Gay Rights, Worker Rights, Woman Rights and all of the rights that people on the right fine displeasure.
We find ourselves in a new day. A time to move forward without necessarily caring for the different and the have nots. We are caught in wars with people we do not know and for reasons unknown. Sen. Kennedy apposed these wars. I once dreamed of a perfect world. Perhaps, it is in another place other than this one. I still have hope.Life is not easy. But tomorrow is another day. Yet, there will be one less Kennedy to dream the dreams of Camelot.
