RIP Martha Moxley

My mother is friends with Dorthy Moxley... Her daughter - Martha Moxley - was killed by a Kennedy relation(RFKs Nephew).

Dorothy is an amazing woman... Really nice. So sad..

Yes, May these women rest in peace, and the people that caused them harm will meet their judgment...but honestly putting this thread up as "no politics" and invoking these unfortunate situations are really a passive aggressive way to state your own politics...


I might as well say RIP the soldiers of the War on Terror, RIP the 100,000 Iraqi citizens...."no politics"...but clearly you could see the political undertones through that veil.

Can we keep this board about skiing / snowboarding/ mountain biking/ hiking and keep the political ambiguities out of it?

It's very simple.... Greg has laid this site out so you can go to the subboard that only talks about skiing / snowboarding/ mountain biking/ hiking.. It's like changing a channel...

So YOU only have to go to those moderated boards and find what your looking for.... Pretty simple... yup....

At which point I'd say "War on terror??? We ended up in the wrong country for that"

Ted Could have been President!

You seem to frequently not know about current/past events... Do you like live in a cave and just come out to ski?

Never realized manslaughter was political, sorry.

OK, not sure what the point of this thread is considering that we are digging up skeletons from 40 years ago...no pun intended. :-?

So Andy can air his feelings...

I tried to turn it around... To show someone who was purposely murdered by a Kennedy...

The point of the thread is this, we pay homage to people just because of their celebrity status and ignore who and what they really were,

The point of the thread is to show he was no angel.

The point of the thread is to not forget about Mary Jo, a victim of Kennedy.

The point of the thread is in no way political, but moral.

 

[tree_skier]

I can't believe I never saw that before

 

[o3jeff]

I think now that Ted passed the Kopechne family can now talk about the incident, should be interesting to hear what really happened.

Good points Andy.

The issue of our idolizing of politicians is one that greatly concerns me. Afterall, these are people who we put there, and are their bosses. If we place them on too high a platform, does that not impair one's ability to have a actual, objective discussion with them??
