JFK Assassination 60 Years After<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should look back and see what I wrote on the fiftieth nniversary. But maybe it was the thing from the thing on “The Day The Music Died<\/a>.” Obama was president at the time. Hey, $Corp_news_show, you do realize that most of the people alive don’t remember that. For that, the President of the United States wasn’t even born yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The JFK assassination is something similar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boomers are the lengthiest generation. My early-Boomer parents were in elementary school. My later-Boomer in-laws were very young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’s not a single person from my generation who was alive when JFK was shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, there is a Gen X. equivalent…and I’ve brought it up recently when I realized the woman I’d eventually marry wasn’t born when Challenger exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, even though not all of the Boomers were alive, and there’s many who don’t remembers it, here’s lots of conspiracy ideas surrounding it that persist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am pretty sure that Oswald killed JFK alone with a single rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence counter to that conclusion is sketchy at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think there was a wild underlying conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the JFK assassination conspiracies serve as a launchpad to other really off-the-wall stuff. I think, and unfortunately I can’t find it, the progression goes something like this: JFK Conspiracy –> 9\/11 Troof –> Hollow Earth –> Birds Aren’t Real<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally there’s something that really makes you re-evaluate a lot of things (for me all the ammo found on the Lusitania wreck was a big deal…), but anything where you’ve got to do a lot of contortions to get the crazy end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe I’m boring, but I just don’t have the patience to get where I’m supposed to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, even if I did have the patience, what’s the payoff? How is my life any different?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything I’ve had to do to get to get a ride on the crazytrain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So. Oswald, who was so much a loser that he couldn’t find contentedness behind the Iron Curtain, and is enough of a shot to pull off something that’s of medium difficulty for any trained marksman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Ruby killed Oswald. The reasons for that aren’t clear, but that can be said about a lot of stuff that happens in the New Orleans underworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve set something to DVR kind of from morbid curiosity. But I don’t have any interesting expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m skeptical that will be able to change that overall attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to go start Thanksgiving. Sorta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
