A- JFK Inauguration Speech

John F. Kennedy's inauguration speech sent a message not only to the American people, but to the entire world, a message of responisbility. When I read his speech at first I thought of how great his ideas of responsibility were; and how his goals ,not only for America but the World, were extensive and broad-minded. These goals however, I thought as I read on, would be next to impossible to accomplish without some form of sacrifice from the American people; and we all know how uptight the American people can be about making sacrifices for the greater good. My mind journeyed through the state of America at the time, and the amount of strife and pressures at the time made me realize that there was almost no way we could have accomplished all that Kennedy had wanted to accomplish. Even in today's world I doubt that we could finish all his dreams for this country, there is just as much oppression and ignorance in the country today as there was thirty years ago. In the eand it all comes down to how much we are willing to sacrifice, if at all, and if we cannot then we might as well nuke ourselves right now.
