Chappaquiddick

It may only be a coincidence that this incident occurred in 1969, at the height of America's power.  Was it really at the height of America's power?  Okay, let's say the height of its economic power.  The GDP per capita in gold was never higher than what it was then.  That includes today and all the days from this day to sometime in 1968.

Was there anything quite like Chappaquiddick before?  I'm thinking no.  Kennedy's story was repeated on the news as I recall.  Even though I was only a teenager, I sure didn't believe it.  It sounded false, and it must have sounded false to most people.  Unfortunately, not everybody, or not everybody seemed to care.  This man did run for President in 1980.  Fortunately, this man never did become president.  But we've done worse than that, even.  Barack Hussein Obama may not have left a young woman to die, but may be responsible for a lot more deaths than this.  All very predictable, but when it happens, they'll try to escape responsibility just like Kennedy did.
