"Huh" me no "huh"s and spare me your impudence. If you at least would have
followed my suggestion you might have done the least bit of research into George
Bernard Shaw. In 1921, 4 years before RFK was born, GBS wrote a play entitled
"Back to Methuselah". From said play, the following "You see things and you say
'why?' But I dream of things that never were and say 'why not'".

Kind of close to the RFK quote no? At least when JFK used similar words in a 1963
speech at a Civil Rights gathering, he correctly attributed the idea, if not the
quote, to Shaw. In my brief research, apparently a little more thorough than
yours, I learned that Ted Kennedy used the quote in his eulogy of RFK.

Also during said brief research I learned that the author of the 1982 novel
"Shoeless Joe" (which begat the movie "Field of Dreams") mistakenly attributed
the quote to RFK, just as you have.

We all have Marx Brothers quotes. One of my favorites might be "You haven't shut
up all day. You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle."

Maybe you will be welcome back on the other side now. I mean you got a mild
rebuke from JB, I've been "bullying" you, and now some of the rank and file are
apparently turning thumbs down. You might be a real martyr over there, no?

As you say, no response necessary.
