Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ...
Re: Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You
Life in the U.S was not perfect under Camelot. But it has not gotten much better since then.
I hope we can honor President Kennedy's memory by improving ourselves and our country in the next forty-odd years. Small steps can lead to great gains.

and I know I can come up with a lot of ways where things have gotten better since
the early 1960s.
In so many ways.

I agree SP- on the better side I think we can add 1) civil rights legislation, 2) fall of Communism, 3) advances in medicine...

Can't forget the rise of Parrotheadism . . .

Nice piece on the NBC News tonight with Caroline Kennedy as they talked about this speech. The extended interview online is worth a listen.

I can't wait to see what SP comes up with. Whatever it is I'm sure I'll agree.

Things have gotten better. Many of you may be too young to remember
1968. A very violent year at home and abroad.
