I don't know if any of you know this. But Malcolm X was assassinated today in 1965. Anyone old enough to remember that?
Yeah, but you know I much better liked MLK. Because I think moderates are uniters rather than divides. And that way they get more done. Some people think that I am not very moderate, though maybe less so now, as I said. But first and foremost I think I am a pragmatist. And I think it works very well for me.
Speaking of MLK, did anyone notice what a handsome guy he was? It's so wonderful when someone is so beautiful on the inside and out. Actually though, the reason why I say that is because I never hear people say that. I was wondering if people even thought of him that way. Because people mainly just talk about what he accomplished.
Yeah, MLK, Bobby Kennedy and possibly someone else, were assassinated the month I was born, June 1968. My mother was reportedly going to name me Bobby. But she thought it'd be too sad. And that the kids would make fun of that name. BTW I couldn't have possibly had a better mother. She died in 1996. And in many ways I still don't think I fully got over it. I'm all right. But sometimes that's the way I feel.
