Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.

(27,553 posts)I am thoroughly ashamed of what Jr. has become. RFK (Sr.) himself would be absolutely appalled at it. I don't think Jr. understands one whit about what his father was, or was about.
A most appropos quote for our time. I truly wish our political leaders would abide by it.
