CDAJim: Enough Of JFK Already

CDAJim (RE: Ready for wall-to-wall JFK Day?): I agree that enough is enough. Conspiracy or not, there is nothing that can bring JFK back, so leave it alone. I did record some of the many programs that dealt with his murder, but have decided not to watch them. As we have discussed on HBO before, there are some great books written by historians that deal with Kennedy and his life and untimely death and many have speculated on what the future would have been had he not been killed. Some, like Robert Dallek, who spoke here in Cd'A, have postulated in "An Unfinished Life", that Kennedy might have died in office anyway due to his ill health. I have read Stephen King's book "11/22/1963" and I believe, even though the concept of the book is remarkable, the conclusion, is great food for thought. I would suggest that those really wondering how things might have turned-out to read it. My final thoughts are --- "Requiescat In Pace" (Rest in Peace) JFK

Question: Will this be the last meaningful observance of the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated?
