some guy at work today emailed me this link...
It's certainly interesting.
I agree with everyone, how it's sad that the whole world looked to America and offered their support, and we basically turned up our noses at them, then went so far as to have lots of Americans talk **** about the French because they weren't supporting us in the ways we wanted. (Maybe this was different elsewhere, but such was the case in WI)

It's going to be our generation's "Grassy Knoll" with the "magic bullet" that passed through Kennedy's skull/throat and a Secret Service agent's shoulder. No one will ever be able to know what exactly happened that day, but everyone will have theories, conspiracies and doubts. What we do know is that many people died in that building that day, and many more are dying and will die given our reactions.

It makes me sick to think that people are so easily lead, rights so quickly shed and violence so readily endured and prolonged. Didn't we learn anything from sending our sons/children/husbands (or in our generation, fathers or uncles we never got to know) to Vietnam? The enemy wears the same clothes as the innocent, and fights for *their* beliefs, and *their* home territory.

...How many have to die?

Don't we have *ENOUGH* things to worry about at *HOME* like properly educating our kids, making sure everyone, of every ethnicity and background has equal opportunities, worrying about our resources, etc?

DID WE GO BACK TO THE '60s (minus the popular will to change and civil rights movents?!)

Sorry. I'll get off the soapbox now. I have a date with Jimi, Janis, Jim.
