WE have in this country about the dumbest bunch of people, thank god more people don't vote.
Two of the top three almost got us into wars and didn't because they didn't have the guts to drop the hammer, and instead left their people stranded and hung out to dry.
BTW does this mean we are going to have to suffer thru the 40th anniversary of the magic bullet?
Old Walter cronkite will be in his glory with teddy k bringing out the good stuff.
Depressed to be sure, and with much to be depressed about. But I don't see the manic side. In the nineteenth century, depression went undiagnosed and largely unnoticed. Maybe it was regarded as more or less normal in a world where amusements were few and death a constant presence. True manic states, though, would surely have attracted more attention. Maybe they were less common in those days.
But it's certainly true that people today are stupid. Some of them will excuse the Kennedys anything. Tonight, Eleanor Clift used the word "sweet" to describe JFK's recently discovered affair. I almost choked. Some people really believe that Kennedy was being of more than human stature who can't be held to normal human standards.
Yes, because Kennedy is the Elvis of presidents - bigger dead than he ever was alive. And secondly, because there's still no consensus on who shot him so the murder mystery endures. Interesting, isn't it, that the heavy-handed rush to judgement meant to stifle any doubt as to who was the murderer has been turned on its head into creating the most enduring murder mystery of all time. Ask 20 people and you might get 20 different theories.
