I have been interested in the political atmosphere of our country since my preteen years. It has been particularly interesting to observe the political shenanigans adopted by many of those wishing to obtain or maintain power. Fortunately, there have also been many who were truly interested in serving the people who put them in office. Looking at one’s life, voting record and words can provide significant insight into which of the aforementioned categories a political figure fits.
In the 1960s, John F. Kennedy wrote a book titled “Profiles In Courage,” which was very inspiring, as he examined the lives of individuals who had enough daring
to go against the flow and make a real difference in society. As a
young, very intelligent president of our country, he was faced with many
daunting problems, not the least of which was an attempt by the
Russians to supply Cuba with nuclear weapons, which would have been situated just 90 miles off of our shores.
