Methinks we as a people just can't accept that JFK, who was a respected and handsome president in his time, could be off'd so easily
~S~
There is some truth to that.
One of the motives behind conspiracy theories is a rejection of the idea that such a random act can have such world changing consequences. Many conspiracy fools find solace in believing that there is a conspiracy as in SOMEBODY is in charge and such random acts are not random.
Reality teaches us something different however. Such random acts are in fact common and sometimes do in fact change history.
Even Jackie Kennedy sympathized with this view. In an interview she stated that she may have found some solace if her husband had been killed for political reasons such as for his support of civil rights. It would have made him something of a martyr and his death easier to deal with. Instead she had to live with the fact that he was murdered by an obscure random nobody who was seeking to make himself more important.
