I watched A Ripple Of Hope last night on ABC TV, about Robert F. Kennedy and the night Martin Luther King was assassinated. Robert Kennedy was an inspiring orator. I can't help but compare his heartfelt speech on the night Martin Luther King died, spoken without notes, to current politicians, both in Australia and around the world.
Most of the current Australian politicians would be lucky to read a speech without tripping over it in some way, and I haven't seen a speech by President Obama where he isn't reading from a teleprompter.
I wonder what a different place the world would be today if either "Bobby" or his brother John, had not had their lives cut so tragically short?
