This was from an actual website for a moment I found it quite amusing then I actually thought about it. I have found myself disconnected and surfing the web quite a lot lately looking for something …. What I really couldn’t say but this seemed to sum up in three lines the emptiness that permeates my very existence of late.
Here I am feeling alone, lost with no direction in sight and instead of seeking out human contact I sit isolated at my computer looking for relevance and meaning in a chaotic and uninterested world where Enlightenment can be found baked on paper in a cookie. Seems where ever I look stores, TV, magazines I am sadly lacking “IT” and though I purchase the right car, clothes, music, books, shampoo & conditioner I cannot seem to purchase that shinny something new to fill the empty place where my soul used to reside … So If you’re interested ……

A respect for the rights of other people to determine their forms of government and their economy will not weaken our democracy. It will inevitably strengthen it. One of the first things we must get rid of is the idea that democracy is tantamount to capitalism. (1963)

Once more we are in a period of uncertainty, of danger, in which not only our own safety but that of all mankind is threatened. Once more we need the qualities that inspired the development of the democratic way of life. We need imagination and integrity, courage and a high heart. We need to fan the spark of conviction, which may again inspire the world as we did with our new idea of the dignity and worth of free men. But first we must learn to cast out fear. People who`view with alarm’ never build anything. (1963)

Our trouble is that we do not demand enough of the people who represent us. We are responsible for their activities. . . we must spur them to more imagination and enterprise in making a push into the unknown; we must make clear that we intend to have responsible and courageous leadership. (1963)

'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.'
