| Edited, obviously, altough it is all as good as you remember (and if you don’t remember it you should read it now). However, this one sentence struck me as hauntingly prescient. It also seemed appropriately timed now. Also, as you read this, compare his speaches with, say GWB, and Dean. See who looks closer to the original democratic model. Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are-- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle... a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyrrany, poverty, disease and war. I am absoutely convinced this is more true today than it was nearly 43 years ago. |
