I was very sorry to hear about the diagnosis for Ted Kennedy’s health over the past couple of days. His family has suffered so much loss and grief; it just doesn’t seem fair for so much of it to be heaped on one family! I just have to wonder sometimes if this is some kind of karmic justice against the entire family for ill-gotten wealth from the moonshine days of old. (The sins of the father shall be visited upon the son. I’ve heard that quote before, I think it is from the Bible, but don’t know exactly which chapter or verse. Sorry to disappoint all of you Bible-memorizing folks out there!)

Anyway, I am truly very sorry to hear about anyone having any kind of cancer nowadays. With all of the technological advances we have made in the past several decades, it seems to me that we should have found the cures for cancer, AIDS, Hepatitis, MS, and all the other horrible diseases that plague our existence. We have lost a few family members to cancer; it is not a pleasant journey. I wish Ted Kennedy and his family well.
