2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Good Fight [View all]Unknown Beatle
(2,672 posts)56. Why do things need to become bad for people to do good?
We were on tract for doing good when JFK was elected president. Then someone assassinated him. Same thing with his brother RFK and someone assassinated him too. There's people out there that don't want to help the common people and they'll do anything to stop it. Scalia was a perfect example.
But I get your point. It's bad enough now that we need people to do good, and enough are ready and willing to contribute to end greed and madness. On that I agree with you wholeheartedly.
