Wow! 50 Years Have Gone By

 Like so many people, I remember exactly where I was when I heard JFK had been shot.  But today isn't the anniversary of his death; it's the anniversary of his Inaugural Speech. So many changes followed, both inspiring and tragic. Today I am still a politics junkie...I don't know why I find it so fascinating. Maybe because it is in many ways like a soap opera...casts of characters, intrigue, suspense, duplicity, disappointment, villains and heroes. But we are not just viewers, as we are with soap operas.  We are the people whose lives are made better or worse by the workings of politics.
