...even more important now," says Juan, referring to the wave of anti-immigrant hysteria that has swept California and much of the nation the past several years. "If I work hard, take care of my family, I won't be a burden on society. That's how I can honor Bobby and keep the Kennedy name alive...
...should, no matter how much it hurts. You can argue that the Kennedy name has lost some of its shine, but he doesn't want to hear it. They stood for something, he says.

And when cartoons invaded TV, creatures from Bullwinkle Moose to Tex Avery's Raid insects kept alive a hallowed comic tradition. Bart fits in snugly here...
