Robert Kennedy's words recalled

As the 2008 presidential election draws near and the anger and intolerance toward Sen. Barack Obama increases, I am reminded of a couple of things Robert F. Kennedy once said:

"What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents."

And, "But suppose God is black? What if we go to heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?"

Vote for who you feel would the better president, but by all means, be tolerant and respectful. After all, this is America.
