More From John F. Kennedy

We in this country, in this generation, areby destiny rather than choicethe watchmen on the walls of world freedom. we ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, good will toward men. that must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. for as was written long ago: except the lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

The difference between 'watchmen' and a normal comic book is this: with 'batman's gotham city,' you are transported to another world where that superhero makes sense; 'watchmen' comes at it in a different way, it almost superimposes its heroes on your world, which then changes how you view your world through its prism.

Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. they are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.

Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. it is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.

Here is the trap you are in.... and it's not my trap—i haven't trapped you. because abortions are illegal, women who need and want them have no choice in the matter, and you—because you know how to perform them—have no choice, either. what has been violated here is your freedom of choice, and every woman's freedom of choice, too. if abortion was legal, a woman would have a choice—and so would you. you could feel free not to do it because someone else would. but the way it is, you're trapped. women are trapped. women are victims, and so are you.
