I found no comfort in it.I was in Dallas the day it occurred. I have accepted that the conspiracy theories will continue.I try not to get nervous over assassination attempts but I know it only takes luck and one determined shooter.It is a miracle that Reagan survived and Squeaky Frome was stopped before she shot Ford.
Here is what I would like to know: If everything happened the way the Warren Report said it did and if there are no details being swept under the rug, why are the records from the Warren Commission still sealed until 2029? Cripes, it was 40 years ago. The cold war is over. If there is nothing to hide, then why have they not released everything?
"I found no comfort in it.I was in Dallas the day it occurred. I have accepted that the conspiracy theories will continue.I try not to get nervous over assassination attempts but I know it only takes luck and one determined shooter."
. . .There is no comfort to be found - save that maybe life's probabilities were better served; that is to say, Kennedy was really sick with Addison's Disease and almost as sick from his medications; he suffered chronic pain; he was addicted to women.
I am more tempted to believe that a kind of 'self-determined' fate does operate and by that, Kennedy's exit from this world, while in the seemingly 'worst' way; served him nonetheless.
Had he survived; this Kennedy's name might not be associated with a larger-than-life and enduring 'mythic reality'. Something, most mortals surely never acheive.
Perhaps, JFK needed that or wanted that; or he was groomed for that; or perhaps it was 'America' that needed the myth.
Could just be it was the synchonicity of 'needs' that made this horrific event possible or at least set the stage for it's happening.
