20. Just seeing the letters "RFK" makes me sad

I still remember the night that they killed RFK and I do mean they. One man didn't do that alone. If I was a bettin' man I'd bet the farm on that.

I'm sad because of the world we would be living in would be drastically different today than it is if not for the murder of Robert Kennedy. The powers to be knew that too and weren't going to let it happen... as they also did to young John more recently.
