That sounds like a good plan.

You see, something that we can agree on, it had to happen sometime.

Sorry, sorry everyone, know that I'm disrupting the flow here.

How dare you speak that way about people who have lost a child. So sorry that negative reps were removed from this forum.

No need to say you are sorry. I totally agree and I am not sure how I missed that comment before otherwise I would have commented on it as well.

"I heard on the news yesterday that Ted Kennedy paid the Kopechne family $140K. He wrote a check for $90K and his insurance company paid the remainder. From that point, the Kopechne family is very quiet and not in the public view."


This is the comment that my comment was based on. My question is, where was the family to look for justice on her behalf? That's all I'm saying.

I understood completely what you were saying, others didn't.

There is this thing called "forgiveness" and another called "acceptance". Did you ever think that the family wanted to forgive or accept and that maybe they felt it was not in their interests or that of their daughters to fight? Would it bring their daughter back? Is it possible that they wanted to mourn in private and not be dragged into a national spotlight? Not everyone is vengeful.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Sorry, but that is the most ignorant statement i've heard yet on this board, even if there was no 911, what about calling the cops when he got back to the party???
