Seriously, I think we'd be in a different (better) country had JFK had a second term. I think VietNam would have been a footnote in the history books instead of a chapter. He also had plans for sound changes in our economy which would have taken us a different direction. And I think civil rights would have gotten off to a more stable beginning. Just conjecture, but it would have been nice to find out.

Did anybody see the show Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura? I missed it and forgot to DVR it but I wanted to see it because it dealt with the JFK assassination.

I'm with you COG. Never underestimate Americans willingness to be fed a crock of shit. Look at all the rich televangelists.

Like Ron White says "You can't fix stupid".
COG - I agree. Since JFK was a fiscal conservative (he proposed tax cuts to increase revenue to the Treasury, for example), but a social liberal/moderate, he might have been the one President to prevent the divide that ripped the country in half in the late 60s - and still has reverberations today.

Does anyone still believe there was a lone assassin and a "magic bullet"?
