In reply to the discussion: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Robert F Kennedy Jr.? [View all]DFW
(56,972 posts)He seems to have gone completely off the deep end.
We were schoolmates once upon a time, and used to hang together at recess. Just 6th grade stuff. When JFK was killed, he and Joe II were pulled out of class, and we lost touch until his Air America days. We reconnected then, but not close. I suspect he had a minor say in getting my daughter into Pace Law School, where he taught environmental law, but he never said so outright, and I never asked (either before or after), so my suspicions may yet be unfounded. Although my daughter did well there, she never took environmental law, and thus never had him as a professor. He spoke at graduation, and was quite lucid there, but disappeared right after speaking, so I never spoke to him at the event.
The man with all the conspiracy theories and whacko friends today doesn't in the slightest resemble the guy I once knew. Although I can from the photos that it's still Bobby, alright, the stuff he's saying just doesn't jive with what he used to say, so I'll just say I HAD a favorable opinion of him, and can't figure out what's got into him lately. It sure seems to have scrambled his thought processes, whatever it is. Unless our paths happen to cross again, and I get to hear him one on one, I'll just say he appears to have crossed over into some dark dimension, and it's not the same guy I knew. That's about as close to an opinion that I have for now.
