We Are All Americans

Today it's been all over the news that long time Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The prognosis is not yet certain, however even in the best case scenario, this is not good news. I do not think highly of Kennedy's politics or even of the man himself. Politically, we are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Personally, I disapprove of some of the aspects of his life, such as the "Chappaquiddick incident". It's not time for that now. Now it is time to come together and send our thoughts and prayers to Kennedy's family and friends. I sincerely hope that everybody will, even those who may not be fond of Senator Kennedy. When Charelton Heston passed away recently, I was utterly disgusted at some of the comments from his enemies and detractors. Don't we want to be better than that? Heston and Kennedy both are polarizing figures. They are also men with families. When sick, they deserve our best wishes, when passed, our prayers. After all we are all Americans and we are all human.
