It's been 45 years

On January 20, 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as president of these United States. It was a different time and I was a different person. I thought his speech that day somewhat hokey, but, in retrospect, it was more of a good example of an inauguration speech. Of course, the "Ask not" line is now the most remembered. But here's another line that should resonate forty-five years later: "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
