i had never heard of teddy kennedy, before this thread.

my thought is that, yes he did terrible things,BUT by the sounds of things he spent the majority of his life trying to make up for them.

there are all things we are ashamed of and wish we could take back, but he was in a unique position to make a real difference to everyones lives.

like someone else has already said it is for himself and his god to judge and attone for his harmful actions.

i have no problem with saying the truth about the dead, they do not become saints just because they have passed. however it is surely how they try to live after making such a colosall mistake that should define them not the mistake itself.

may he be watched over and guided to the truth and find inner peace.

take care all
