Thanks NEWwoman. I realized today, when a friend mentioned the anniversary, that the JFK assassination only has historical interest for me now. I wonder when that happened? To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

I still remember where I was when I heard the news. I guess now, with more perspective, it's just the event that ushered in the awful decade in my mind. Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, King assassination, second Kennedy assassination, urban riots, campus riots, Manson family, ROTC buildings burned, hippies, troops spat upon, home grown terrorism, hey if the government spends enough money we can eliminate poverty . . .

It always strikes me as some kind of twisted joke when liberals wax nostalgic for the Sixties. Ask them why and they throw the Civil Rights Act in you face like you must be a racist. Seriously? One good thing does not erase the rest of the awful decade.
