That water, River or Bay, really doesn't care who they are.

Yeah,but they were Kennedy's,and Kennedy's don't need flotation devices because they ARE flotation devices.

People like them prove you only have to be smart enough to be born into a fortune to be rich.

Kennedys

Can't Drive.  Can't fly.  Can't ski.  Can't commandeer a boat.  But they know best how to run the country.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is an awful tragedy for this family ... prayers up for their comfort and strength.   :0001:

I also hope the Kennedys someday learn to think one step beyond the fun and excitement of a moment.

Yes, and you can also drop a steak on the floor in front of your Husky and hope he doesn't gobble it up before you can get it out of his mouth.
The Kennedy clan seems genetically unable to forego taking unnecessary risks for trivial gains.
Couldn't the mother see that taking a kayak out in choppy waters for a stupid ball was tempting fate? Like they couldn't buy the factory where they make the damn things and have one thousand balls available?
I guess not.

@mrpotatohead

Hard to explain,but you will recognize her when she decides to appear,and you don't talk to her because she doesn't listen.

Her body was found 2-1/2 miles from where she entered the water.  **nononono*
I certainly hope, for the sake of the family, they find the little boy's body.

Me, too. At least they will have that closure.

Hard to believe they put so much effort into retrieving the ball. I am sure they could afford a new one.  :shrug:
