Look I just wrote a poem about this : D
Step forward: we hearThat you are a good man.You cannot be bought, but the lightningWhich strikes the house, alsoCannot be bought.You hold to what you said.But what did you say?You are honest, you say your opinion.Which opinion?You are brave.Against whom?You are wise.For whom?You do not consider your personal advantages.Whose advantages do you consider then?You are a good friend.Are you also a good friend of the good people?Hear us then: we know.You are our enemy. This is why we shallNow put you in front of a wall. But in considerationof your merits and good qualitiesWe shall put you in front of a good wall and shoot youWith a good bullet from a good gun and bury youWith a good shovel in the good earth.

Local Apple Store has their the lights, as if they're trying to create some weird chapel-of-remembrance atmosphere in there.
At work today I have had about ten times the usual number of requests for new iMacs & MacBooks :S

Image-conscious highly polished presenters advancing certain approaches, trying not to be caught out by anything they wanted to keep secret and not always succeeding, being inspirations nonetheless, dying in sucky ways...

And playing Gregorian chants. Occasionally, the soft sound of weeping can be heard, but otherwise, silence.

yeah but i literally cried the last time i reread his inaugural address. i think the messages they presented are qualitatively very different, and the message of kennedy's life i think is a much higher thing to aspire to than YAY A MOUSE YAY A GUI YAY ITUNES YAY FARMVILLE ON IPAD
