Working Away On the Eve of the New Week: On the 99th Birthday of President Kennedy.....

I ran across this from +Jonathan Huie that blew me away in terms of the reality and the rhetoric before us in the midst of the campaign season.   President Kennedy's  admonition on avoiding military solutions was  poignant.  I always wonder what may have been had he lived on this Memorial Day 2016:

 

Do not pray for easy lives.

Pray to be stronger men.

- John F. Kennedy

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

- John F. Kennedy

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie,

deliberate, contrived and dishonest,

but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

- John F. Kennedy

 The basic problems facing the world today

are not susceptible to a military solution.

- John F. Kennedy

There are risks and costs to action.

But they are far less than the long range

risks of comfortable inaction.

- John F. Kennedy

On the Prowl On this Memorial W-End 2016 w/this from @POTUS & An Admonition from Victor Frankl

I decided to break my sabbatical briefly to catch up on the grid and to facilitate some updates in support of #outsiders.     This was posted by a Facebook Friend as the President visited Hiroshima:

It is quite poignant especially as we in America remember the fallen on this Memorial Day 2016.    I could not help but wonder if the President's Vision will ever be realized as Victor Frankl reminded us in A Man's Search for Meaning to ".......  be alert in a two-fold sense: Since Aushchiwtiz we know what man is capable of, Since Hiroshima We know what is at stake..."...
