# 200 David Surls:

Ever wondered why there were no eulogies for Mary Jo Kopechne, as far as I can tell? None from the Kennedys, for whose campaign she worked devotedly.
Suffer on, buddy, all you want, for a guy who got to live his life fully while he should have spent at least part of it in prison. And please, don’t mix up family sentiment with the sentiments of the rest of us. I have no debt whatsoever to Teddy’s family or his memory.
I also have no religious or customary prohibitions against speaking my mind about a dead person.
So.
