His transformation is an inspiration to people around the world.<BR/><BR/>Hey Neen - how are you doing?

I cried through the whole last ten minutes of "Bobby" (the movie) and all the way out to my car in the parking lot, where I broke down completely for a while. I had no idea what we had and what we lost. I can't even imagine anybody now living who could do what the old film clips in the movie showed him doing and it breaks my heart. What a shame. Needless to say, I now own the DVD of the movie, but I can't bring myself to watch it because I know it will bring up my disappointment with the current situation again.changeseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350201531677548579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-26011244240879141442008-01-10T05:13:00.000-05:002008-01-10T05:13:00.000-05:00I remember that night when Bobby was shot.

He'd just claimed victory in California's primary election and Sirhan Sirhan's bullets changed this incredible jubilation to tragedy and foreboding gloom.
