May JFK rest in peace!
I was in high school. We were sent home. Spent the weekend glued to ancient black&white TVs. We couldn't believe it when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald. We saw him do it and many of us never got hooked into conspiracy theories.
Well--I am hooked on the Seinfeld episode--'The Lone Spitter'--parody of grassy knoll conspiracy theories.
May JFK rest in peace!
I am among the shrinking group of citizens who remembers that horrible day. In my opinion, it was much worse than 9/11 because it was a turning point in American history for the worse. The impact on our nation's policies and the direction this country began heading has lead us to the situations we face today.
I have come to believe that when historians in the distant future record the rise and fall of the American experiment, November 22, 1963 will be the zenith.

That is about 1,000,000,000 miles beyond absurd.

Your usual emote without any substance.
I was a sophomore in high school when he was murdered, and I also have problems with Lyndon's white-wash.I was in 8th grade at the time. It was an Indian summer kind of sunny day
Mr. Bomart announced that President Kennedy was shot.
We were released from school early.
I didn't really understand the significance of it.
I concur with the theory that future historians will mark that day as the day that the music died in America.
I still wonder who-all were involved in his assassination.
I do not believe the official record.
That is about 1,000,000,000 miles beyond absurd.

Substance? Are you going to 'prove' your silly little hero-worshipping theory? Good luck.
No innocent person, whether president or ditch digger, deserves to be murdered by some scumbag as he drives down the street. That having been said: JFK was a dishonest, disloyal person from a corrupt family, and a so-so president at best. Just because you got the original tingle up your leg over him because he didn't look like the usual Munster politician of his day doesn't mean he accomplished anything more than he actually did. The assassination of any US president is a grave and significant event for obvious reasons, but as far as ripples in the surface of time go, that was not one of lasting effect beyond the very understandable emotional reaction of citizens who had invested so much hope and expectation in a man who turned out to be far less than people wanted to believe he was (a tendency among some that clearly has not abated).

That's it...double down. What next? Right wing lies that old man Kennedy was a bootlegger?
How about this. Without a coup d'état on November 22, 1963, there are two wars that never happen (Vietnam and drugs), 60,000 young Americans are alive and able to live out their dreams, no conservative era materializes...no Nixon, no Reagan, no massive debt.

We know a lot more now, then we knew then. But the truth is still being suppressed. It should cause citizens to question, not accept.

We have so much more to question in the 'suppression of truth area'--now. Thanks to CNN--they have shown RFK and other related bio-documentaries about 1,000 x since October. Anyone with spare time can delve into JFK.
I was so young, too young to vote--it sounded great ---young president, beautiful wife and two young children---'Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country'???a Dem. Dems today seem to believe, 'The government is the only thing we all belong to and You Didn't Build It?' So I was satisfied with being a Southern Dem until the 80's--didn't make a radical switch, gradual.
Personally couldn't stand the 80's--the hairstyles, the shoulder pads and eternal discussions of empowerment for women/glass ceilling. Didn't matter to me I was in an industry 'run by women for a long time'/2nd oldest profession, etc. Of course in this industry the work was actually done by women and men at the top had total control. Then some men/women began to be placed in positions of power, near the top---eventually at the top--like in the days of WW2, when all the men, most of the men were away fighting a war.
The Power--to diplomatically reason with a child. 'You need to calm down, you need to sit down', etc. More power than I wanted.
i went off topic--sorry about that--just not interested in a conspiracy theory about JFK. The Kennedys--yes, Irish. Not welcome in WASP country clubs, etc. They started their own.
Joseph Kennedy, ambassador. Strict with the boys---athletes and leaders, all of them. They played football on Thanksgiving and probably anytime they all got together? I think so.

I am confident that 'a few good men' are working 24/7 on such matters. Perhaps forsaking the turkey, etc for investigative priorities. Turkey sandwiches on the way. And pecan pie. That is what is important today.

You don't really expect anyone to take your swooning bobby-soxer speculations seriously, do you? Playing 'what if' does not impact reality in any way, Dr. Brown.
"That strength will never be used in pursuit of aggressive ambitions--it will always be used in pursuit of peace. It will never be used to promote provocations--it will always be used to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes.
We in this country, in this generation, are -- by destiny rather than choice -- the 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"
