It reminded me of these words in Bridge over Troubled Water "Sail on Silver Bird, Sail on by, Your time has come to shine, All your dreams are on their way..."

It reminded me of these words in Bridge over Troubled Water

“Sail on Silver Bird,
Sail on by,
Your time has come to shine,
All your dreams are on their way…”

I choose to take this moment to honor Teddy Kennedy for all the deeply caring things he did to help shape this nation and all the people he helped as a result. He became an amazing and effective legislator - and learned the hard way there is no perfection...sometimes you just have to dig in and change what you can and keep going to change more when you can. And since I agree his family and wealth gave him chances others would not have had...I will also take this moment to honor giving folks second and third chances. ;-) Peace out and in.

However: If anyone else was thrown out of Harvard for paying someone to take their exam I doubt he/she could get elected to or be able to stay in national office. If anyone else had driven off that bridge while drunk, resulting in the death of a young woman, they would be charged with homicide, not just leaving the seen of an accident. Ted Kennedy may have accomplished at lot, but he did so ONLY because he was given a second chance, a third chance, and many more. I agree SE, no life is flawless. However:
