That Ted Kennedy's death was expected and imminent was not in doubt in recent weeks, but it's still very hard to accept that our country's liberal lion is gone. May he rest in peace after his steadfast battles for justice for all Americans and his valiant fight against the accursed disease that took him from us. May we all remember his desire and ability to enlist allies to avoid the kind of bitterness that has overtaken national politics, and may all his colleagues, including those across the aisle, honor his memory with action for the greater good of the people.
"All of us will live on in the future we make." - Ted Kennedy, 2008
My thoughts go out to his family, who have lost their Uncle Teddy.
Gone now all three brothers, who played enormous roles in forging my liberal beliefs. An era is over. I can only hope there will be others who will take up the torch.
We have Ted Kennedy to thank for these, among many, acts:
The Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Voting Rights Act of 1965
The COBRA Act of 1985 (ever lost a job and still managed to keep your health insurance for 18 months?)
The Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990
The Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
Some political stats.
Some obituaries:

The Kennedy family has set up a page for us to share our memories and celebrate his life.

Yes, I know how to pump gas (or whatever the heck this was -- food-grade white whiskey blended into tar sands muck? "essence"? -- somewhere near Cornwall, Ont.). Still don't know how to drive.
Did you know polar bears have blue tongues?!

What if the crisis of 2008 represents something much more fundamental than a deep recession? What if it’s telling us that the whole growth model we created over the last 50 years is simply unsustainable economically and ecologically and that 2008 was when we hit the wall — when Mother Nature and the market both said: “No more.”
We have created a system for growth that depended on our building more and more stores to sell more and more stuff made in more and more factories in China, powered by more and more coal that would cause more and more climate change but earn China more and more dollars to buy more and more U.S. T-bills so America would have more and more money to build more and more stores and sell more and more stuff that would employ more and more Chinese ...
“We created a way of raising standards of living that we can’t possibly pass on to our children,” said Joe Romm, a physicist and climate expert who writes the indispensable blog climateprogress.org. We have been getting rich by depleting all our natural stocks — water, hydrocarbons, forests, rivers, fish and arable land — and not by generating renewable flows.
“You can get this burst of wealth that we have created from this rapacious behavior,” added Romm. “But it has to collapse, unless adults stand up and say, ‘This is a Ponzi scheme. We have not generated real wealth, and we are destroying a livable climate ...’ Real wealth is something you can pass on in a way that others can enjoy.”
. . . “Mother Nature doesn’t do bailouts.”

India is reshaping its climate roadmap through ambitious renewable energy targets and the development of a national carbon market. With solar, wind, hydrogen, and carbon-credit mechanisms gaining momentum, the country is building a future where clean energy and economic growth go hand in hand.
