Your remark was your title about the assination because evidently you thought the Pope was getting too much attention.
I didn't see Oliver Stones "rendition" of JFK and never would. We LIVED that time. We VOTED for JFK. We CRIED when he was assinated. That was it. Many years later we found out who he really was and felt betrayed. That said...we still feel bad as we reflect back on that horrible day, the funeral, the sadness in our whole world.
Camelot...I know where it came from. I also know it was coined by Jacqueline and therefore picked up by the idiot news media (of which are falling by the wayside as we speak)...being put out of business by the internet and outlets like Free Republic.
The Kennedy time is over. It was and never will be again. However, it was still a TASTELESS and unnecessary headline on a day of joy for millions of others. I can't imagine why you or anyone else would have such a need to jump in there with something so totally irrelevant and unrelated to a story that was the headline of the day. But...that's what makes the world go round I guess. However, I was brought up better and was taught manners and respect.
I didn't post this thread. My first post was on the 22nd, way after the pope's selection. Sorry. It's my username isn't it? :-)
As far as the new pope goes, he's just a man. He certainly doesn't warrant the the entire world stopping to pay homage to him.
