Someone is always watching!

Now that Ted Kennedy has died those with long held grudges are speaking out. Take one of the jurors from the 40 year old Mary Jo Kopechne case. Now Teddy may have been fooling himself, but he, and the Kennedy Clan, have never really fooled the public about his guilt in this incident. Case in point, when he was running for president one of the funniest thing I ever saw was on a car one day in traffic. I pulled up behind a van with a bumper sticker that read “A Blond In Every Pond…..Vote Kennedy!”. Needless to say, I sat all alone in my car laughing my ass off. To anyone around me who may not have seen the sticker must have thought I had lost my mind. But admit it, sometimes funny things catch you off guard in public and you just loose it.  Now back to the juror, he has come out to say the jury was tainted. They were harassed and told how to vote on the case. The judge and district attorney told them how to vote. They also received death threats if they voted guilty that they and their family would be killed. Man, that’s harsh, but when the judge tells the jury that if they vote guilty he will charge them with contempt of court and throw them in jail. Wow, that takes taint to a whole new low! Dont’ get me wrong, I know the Kennedy Family has done a lot of good for this country but they have also done their share of damage too. In this climate today of ramped corruption this almost seems petty, however, the death of a young woman is never petty…..and the man who used his influence to escape justice for it is not petty. When powerful people pass away it is common for their detractors and their abused to come forward and air their dirty laundry. See Mackenzie Phillips if you need a newer example. The dead cannot contradict your charges. However in the Kopechne case we know this to be true. Or at least we, the people, have always suspected Kennedy got away with more than we would have if it have been us who that night who walked away from the Chappaquiddick and failed to report the accident for so long and a pretty young woman died as a result. But then, we are not Kennedys. Which may be a good thing because since I have not died yet, I am not sure when he went after death, nor where I will go. But I sincerely hope it will not be the same place. After spending some earthly years in the same country with him was enough I can not fathom spending eternity in the same eternal realm.
