Like it or not, and there ARE those who don't like it in this regressive time, occasionally JFK brilliantly articulated the sometimes overlooked obvious truth.

David L. Rosenthal, Hollywood

This obvious truth is only semi-articulated and out of context. Another part of it might be expressed by saying "Justice implies refusing to allow the intolerable to persist."

Harold Levy, Hermosa Beach, CA

Well, of course it's out of context. All quotes are out of context. Let's all add our own addenda why don't we?

David L. Rosenthal, Hollywood

All quotes are out of context, but we respond to them within a context. And if we don't have an agenda, someone else will impose his agenda.

    Dudes, is it agenda or addenda? There's a difference.
