JFK

I've been listening to John Kennedy's Inaugural Address via these guys. It might be the lateness of the hour or my own latent romantic streak but

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
I've got chills running up and down my spine. I know that the man had his issues and Camelot is just an after-the-fact deal but . . . I'm jealous.



I want a President like that.
