Full speech, which originating from a US President is in the public domain, and not subject to copyright restrictions, for anyone who cares: JFK RICE MOON SPEECH

What has happened to the USA since this time? Most of our leaders no longer aspire to use resources of the USA to work for something to advance culture, but instead Presidents have mostly fallen into an endless series of unwinnable and incredibly expensive wars and political battles where the right wing evidently prefers to see US citizens starve by the millions rather than to support Federal entitlements that serve the common good.

one of the "other things" should have been health care...way back when. We are pathethic.....
