(6,635 posts)percentage of DU'ers?" Are you talking about the 20 - 30 believers who are participating in this thread, or possibly the few hundred additional DU members who believe there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK which involved the FBI, the CIA, the Dallas Police Department, the Parkland Hospital and the doctors on duty, the Mafia, the Secret Service, Lyndon Johnson, the Warren Commission, and the unknown shadowy figures on the grassy knoll?
Yes, there is widespread interest in the JFK assassination, and several people have made money by perpetuating the controversy. There is NOT, however, a single shred of hard evidence which implicates anyone but Oswald in the murder. There is endless speculation (what about...?) and conjecture (I am convinced that...?) but absolutely no tangible evidence whatsoever that there was a widespread conspiracy involving the agencies and people directly involved.
Believing in the JFK assassination conspiracy does not make those who believe bad people. Those of us who hold different views are mainly relying on the few facts that ARE provable and evident. Until we are presented with proof or evidence to the contrary, we choose to focus on those things that we CAN change or influence.
Peace...
