I do support this view and actually said OMG when I heard it this morning! A bulwark in the Senate for 47 years he concentrated on the needs of the least among us and suceeded many times in passing bills with his name on them. He will be sorely missed and most especially now with health care reform coming to the fore. Of the nine only one sister survives...Jean Kennedy Smith. Hyannis Port, Washington and the world shall miss his wit, humor and intelligence. May God bless the surviving members of this loving, but tragic, family. Side: OMG!

I thought he was already dead too! x____x So...apparently we're both insensitive, terrible people. :P I mean, not really. Except now I am. I actually do care though. Just 'cause a part of me usually cares when someone dies. Wow that was so deep. >_> (understand the sarcasm, please) Side: So?

I find it strange though what happened to all of the Kennedy's over the years. I mean, not many of them died in their sleep, did they? Assassinations, cancer, plane crashes, etc. Something bad happened to most of them, so it is leading me to believe more and more that there is some type of curse or something put on them, although I can't prove it or anything. Side: So?
What goes around comes around. JFK got whacked because he didn't want WWIII, (which is why he is one of my favorite presidents), RFK got whacked because he spoke too harshly against those who put him in power (mafia). Teddy was a little smarter....well, for a while at least. We all know that if it wasn't for his family's money that he would have been in jail loooooooooooooooong time ago. Well, nothing lasts forever. He caused quite a few women a lot of discomfort, so perhaps this is one way that the almighty paid him back to suffer so much at the end. Side: So?

Ted was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him. Side: So?

Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private! Hell, even I made it to E-5 in 2 years!!!! Side: So?

While attending law school at the University of Virginia , he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Side: So?

Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism". In his very first Senate roll, he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration, up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of "what's right". Side: So?

What sources are you talking about? In all these months I've never seen anyone in the newpapers or online say he was dead. When a Kennedy dies, especially the last of the brothers you're going to see it and hear about it big time. I don't think half of you realize who he was and what type of family he came from. Even his mother made headlines when she died several years ago. The coverage on this will be a large as he was, you can bet that. Side: OMG!
