I was just a 9 year old Montana kid When JFK was assassinated

Dion's song still gives me chills when I hear it:

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John.

Imagine what our political leadership would have evolved to if our best leaders had not been killed young?

How many others have declined to lead because they had knowledge of what dangers they faced by going up against the Bush/Cheney gang?

What a different world we would live in with elders such as the Kennedys and MLK. Bushies knew it and they ruined it for us.
