I see you worked with Edward Kennedy in his efforts to contiue
his brothers life time political visions. Bobby was successful
in opening the doors of Ole Miss to those types you just
described. He came to sugar ditch MS to witness first hand the
bloated stomachs of children that haven't eatten. It must have
been a long time since you have been to MS. From reports from
the El Seguendo, and Long Beach CA area alot from your state are
just leaving due to the excessive taxation. What you appear to
be describing is the Kennedy era ask not what your country can
do for you etc.; what I am describing is the FDR words of "fear"
of depression era $1.00 per day. I serously doubt you see many
refusing public assistance in your state, I know it is a rare
occurance here.
