"laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws--but the final task is not a task for government. it is a task for each and every one of us. every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted--when we tolerate what we know to be wrong--when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened--when we fail to speak up and speak out--we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice."

robert francis kennedy
u.s. attorney general 1961-1964

Thanks for the reminder. I worked on his campaign when I was a kid, just stuffing envelopes and stapling posters. I was crushed and horrified when he was shot.
