This is a brilliant example of the wisdom of RFK Jr. His mother's approach to grief is fantastic! The encouragement of people to take responsibility and help each other, rather than expecting the government to come and rescue them is fundamental and critical to turning our nation around to head in the right direction (instead of the current disaster path we have been on)!

I wonder if the American people will wake up and grasp the opportunity that presents itself. Conditioning is important and our government and "elites" seem all too determined to condition us for baseness and desperation instead of hope and nobility of purpose. We will see if they continue to succeed in 2024.

This message about loss, leadership, growth, empathy and faith is so central.

Thank you. "Kennedy has the intellect, character, and energy to achieve this...."

He also has the courage and integrity to lead us out of current all-pervasive and bipartisan Deep State corruption and criminality.

Aloha, John Leake, delighted to find you writing here. People such as yourself give me great hope for our country.

A question that perhaps you can answer, or someone you can talk to can answer-- an "anti-interesting" question, it seems: What happened to the Maui first responder force when the mandates came down?

Thank you John for sharing Bobby's beautiful, heartfelt tribute! He is demonstrating that there still are souls among us who want to work and help all of us realize humankind's great potential.

I love this heart talk from Robert. He is a servant of the people, not himself and his cronies.

What a blessing it would be to have a President who is as compassionate, wise, and caring, yet with a backbone of steel, as Mr. Kennedy.

Dear Mr. Leake,

Thank you for this excellent article and for drawing my attention to the beautiful and heart-felt speech Mr. Kennedy gave to the gathering at Haiku, Maui!

Sincerely,

Empathy is all well and good; BUT DOESN'T HELP IN THE END.

Where are the DEMANDS for the U.S. Govt. to provide

Taxpayer Funding of at least 5 billion Dollars to rebuild

according to the specs the OWNERS OF LAHAINA'S LAND

AND NOT THE FRAUDULENT OBASTARD'S 'BUILD BACK BETTER' SYSTEM

OF SLAVERY.

THIS IS THE ONLY RESPONSE ACCEPTABLE FOR THE

PEOPLE OF HAWAII SUFFERING THIS EVIL ASSAULT

bringing grief, desolation, despair; such suffering with

this abominable loss.

FOR WHAT REASON IS OPRAH PREDICTING SHE'LL

SPEND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS ON LAHAINA...

BEFORE OR AFTER SHE, -BEZOS, OR ONE OF THE

OTHER MEGA-WEALTHY SPOILED STEALS IT?
