JFK's assasination

I wasn't born until 4 years After They killed Kennedy and yes I said They! I believe the killing of JFK was the first huge break between the public and the government.The government thought if they made up this fairy tale about a magic bullet and a lone assassin that All of the people would believe them. Well just because there wasn't a riot calling for Johnson's hide Does not mean they believed it! And ever since then , many do not believe Anything the government says.It was the lost of innocence. I know By the time Watergate came along , many just tuned politics out.But the murderers got what they wanted, the Vietnam war. But they lost the country. And now these days the liars, politicians have to spend so much money to get one fourth of the voters to like them. Yes one fourth because only half of us vote. And I do believe all of this apathy started on Nov 23rd 1963, the day after they killed JFK.

Oh my gosh, I'm so old. I was in first grade when this happened. I remember getting out of school early and my parents being really upset. I have heard some of the conspiracies and to be honest, I really don't know. I think there is probably more to the story than what we know. The thing with conspiracies is that they lack proof. Look at the one with Paul McCartney...so many things pointed toward it being believable but no proof. there is no point in dwelling on these things because there is no way to know either way. Interesting to read up on but thats about it.

48years, gee that makes me feel old, it doesn't seem that long ago, it was one of those times that you just can't believe could happen, its was almost like time stood still at that time but time obviously did not, it was a very tragic time.

I remember that day very well. It was like the world stopped. I was nineteen at the time and watching a soap opera and was upset because they interrupted it with breaking news. I figured it was something like a space shot. Kennedy was our Prince Edwards. We were so interested in royalty back then. It was a very sad day. Walter Cronkite was the news anchor doing the reporting and he was in tears. I believe that Oswald acted alone just as Timothy McVeigh did in the Oklahoma bombing did.

I was just 11 years old and not allowed to watch the news on TV. I heard it on the radio before my parents came home. I was certainly not politically minded, and I'm an Aussie but still, I knew about JFK and I knew this was a very bad thing.

I remember 11-22-63 really well. Totally ruined my birthday for YEARS!
