You've been away for 2 years. I hope happy and well. lol @ wannabe Buddhist. (Is it this crazy volatility that prompted you to get back to the blog? A doomster, you?) I wish I'd read your post a week sooner, though, but I probably wouldn't have acted on your sage advise. I find it very hard to sell, unless the losses become really big. (I'm not entirely joking.) (In case you're wondering, a while back I had bookmarked something you'd written and it just came up, serendity like.) Anyways, good luck to you. Leo Dude! You’ve been away for 2 years. I hope happy and well. lol @ wannabe Buddhist.

It predates the current thinking on Contraction and Convergence by 3 decades and more. Superb stuff. I think this is an amazing speech from the sixties.

But still, on the face of it, he makes no mention of God or Faith. I think that means it has to be taken as closer to a statement of humanism than faith. Whether it would qualify as natural law or not seems like a matter of how universal you feel the truth of the statement is. He doesn't limit it to his own view by saying "my view is" or "in my considered opinion", so it seems like he might feel he is stating a universal truth, which would make it natural law, right? BTW, here's another quote from him. At his announcement of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Kennedy quoted these lines from Aeschylus in a speech which was to become one of his most memorable moments: "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart. And in our own despair, and against our will, comes Wisdom by the awful Grace of God".

Without reading the book I can't say how religion played out in Bobby's life, I'm reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, and seeing it through that lens, what it's talking about is the separation of the stuff, the material things from our spiritual selves. That which we express through poetry, and connecting with others like family, spouse, those we work with, and meet on the street, and engage in friendly debates. This book I'm reading starts with C.S. Lewis' take on mankind conforming to Natural Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law although he is not referenced in the wikipedia link. The book is a transcription of war time radio broadcasts, an interesting juxtaposition takes place between the teaching of a God who loves his children and the death and destruction of the combat that was unfolding.
