Tears fell from eyes while I watched the remembrance video about Ted Kennedy during the Democratic Convention this past week. I miss him more than I knew.
What a fighter. What an orator. What a consistent voice for the powerless and voiceless.
With all the political snarking and distortions we are subjected to every day, it is tempting to tune it all out. Yet this is exactly the time to be more aware. It is our own best interest we need to watch out for.
Teddy knew how to make a deal with those who opposed him without selling out or giving up on the ideals of what is fair and just. Teddy is a good example of seeing the difference between a statesman and a mere politician.
