I think that a mildly skeptical attitude (like mine, for example)towards the circumstances surrounding one of the great crimes in this Nation's jistory is a harmless thing, even if some of the "conspiracy theorists" cite the weakest of evidence, or none at all.

I know! What is so wrong with not agreeing with the WC proponents? Why are they so bent out of shape about this?

"I know! What is so wrong with not agreeing with the WC proponents? Why are they so bent out of shape about this?" OK, last time on this thread- I don't ascribe any sinister motives to folks who believe the WC version. I DO think that they are in error as regarding the "Oswald acted alone" version of events as a scientifically settled fact, not subject to any rational objections - on the order of "The Earth revolves around the Sun- case closed!".

People's motivations and actions are really NOT sas clear and determinate as the laws of physics. There is always some slight possibility that we don't know the whole story, and what's more, it can never be proven beyond doubt that the WC narrative is correct in every detail.

Unfortunately, if you are committed to the truth of that narrative despite any objections (that is called "Faith"), then dissent becomes heresy. And historically, the punishmments for heresy have been swift and very, very severe...
