Depressing? Yes
Hopeless? I sure am feeling that

3. I lived through those assassinations and this still gets to me all this time later.

As much hate and anger as there is in this country today, there was much more back then but it wasn't political. I would say it was sociological. Young people hated authority and the authority hated back. White hated black and vise versa. War mongers hated peaceniks and vice versa.

So many people today like to look at the past and frame it in today's context but it just doesn't explain what went on back then.

4. his advisers tried to discourage him from making that appearance

out of fear for his well being. He spoke from the heart, Bobby was one of the greatest this world has ever known.

5. Robert Kennedy was....

.....in my opinion, the finest Democrat who ever ran for President. He was on the verge of winning the nomination, and would have truly been the greatest President of the 20th century, perhaps even better than FDR. So sad............
