And we stand today on the edge of a New Frontier--[...]--a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils-- a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.
[...]But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises--it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook--it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.
[...]
But I tell you the New Frontier is here, whether we seek it or not
For courage--not complacency--is our need today--leadership--not salesmanship. And the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead, and lead vigorously.
John F. Kennedy.

We miss you, JFK.
Te imaginas que alguien,incluso el propio Obama, viniera prometiendo con frases como estas? Se llevaría a la gente de calle.
Pero, joder, qué bonito es el combustible de la ilusión. Y qué peligroso, porque puede explotar en cualquier momento, o no avisarte cuando se va a acabar.
Por eso seguiremos viviendo a base de energías renovables, como los amigos, el alcohol, las mujeres, el verano.
