[Dr. Eckleburg]

All the assassination did was enshrine...

Thanks, now I understand; you obviously didn't live through this time.

The assassination nearly destroyed a generation just coming into its own. As someone once said, "America died November 22, 1963."

And you're still dancing on the grave.

Piffel! A generation was not nearly destroyed & America did not end on 11-22-1963, get up off your knees.

[Mortimer Snavely]

"The assassination nearly destroyed a generation just coming into its own."

This is just the sort of superficial sound-byte summarization, which has replaced reasoned thinking in American politics, that Kennedy made possible. The beatification of Kennedy, subsequent to the assassination, institutionalized photogenesis and glib idiocy as major requirements for the Presidency, helped destroy the Goldwater campaign, and endowed LBJ's Great Society with the presumed heavenly benedictions of Dear Departed Jack. It laid the foundation for the hard left's full scale assault on the USA later on in the decade.

It would have been much better indeed for the country as a whole if JFK had not been shot; there was sufficient maturity and indignation remaining in the USA to vote the rascal out of office and kick the blighter when he was down and out.

Don't you think that the country would be a much, much different, better place today had Goldwater won in '64?

You are merely repeating LEFTY propaganda, and don't even realize it. That old saw , " it almost ruined a generation ", was started by and spread ny commited lefties and card carrying Communists. No wonder you are so upset that some of us, had mre brains then, than you do now.

Tell me, did McKinley's assassination " almost ruin " a geberation ? Did it take away that generation's " innocence " ? Ot most assurredly did not ! The same is true for ALL of the previous assassinations. Neither , prior to RFK amd MLK Jr.'s murders, was the words assassination used for the murders nonpresidents,nonkings, or heirs to a throne. This misuse, and the attendant propaganda, has rendered that word almost useless.

The Hippy leaders/ KGB ruined a generation. JFK's assassination did NOT !
