The day Kennedy was shot.

[vc1111]

The end of a dream that had to end. It was a sad lie.

Man does not learn from his past.

What followed was an escalation of violence and armament to today' s obscene capacities.

Man is only capable of understanding violence.

We have NEVER come closer to Armageddon than during the Cuban missile crisis. This happened during Kennedy' s administration. By that time, both sides had thermonuclear and ballstic missile capabilities. Nothing that has happened since has had any greater implications for Man' s self-extermination than what happened in October 1962!

And here ppl like myself injoyed getting out of class& curled up in a ball in the halls or ducking& covering under the desks previous to 1962 & it was for things just like what happened & we didnt even relize it at the time.... just how close it was.[]

When looking back at history, it' s easy to forget how close we were to ending the world as we know it.

There was not a person alive who did not know how to " duck and cover" .

And a fat lot of good it would have done too.

The irony is; most of the folks in America have either forgotten or were not alive for the concept of the " global" threat of nuclear war.

It makes me wonder about those who can not understand how terrorism is a worldwide issue and can not be contained to the very specific issues and persons of sept.11.

Logs made a statement a few months back...Something to the effect of; either you are a " global" thinker or you are not.

Some folks just simply do not have the capacity to think on a world wide scale.

I' m probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer, But if someone as simple as me can see the ramifications of terror on a world wide, un-checked scale...Then surely it must be obvious to many others,,,They just don' t want to believe it. And as a result, they shut it out like it just ain' t happening. Hence all the folks who oppose our cause.

It makes one wonder at the ironies of being a free thinking society and how we went about having the privilage to BE a free thinking society.

All I can say about JFK is, " When are they gonna get Teddy and finish the job?"

Clinton took the honor from LBJ as the SORRIEST President ever to walk through the Oval Office!!! (But that has NOTHING to do with him having Kennedy killed in TX for his own good tho!)

All that witha Carcano? Naaaaaaaaaaa,

[OregunHntr]

RedAllison,

Are saying LBJ had JFK killed in Texas? You are so out there that you are a
joke. LBJ didnt have the brains or the balls to do that.

All that with a Carcano? Yes, it' s been proven it could have been done!
