One last JFK poll just to prove or disprove a theory I have.

78. It's not exactly relevant to us, is my stand

I expressed this before, and as predicted, got the usual howling from the "History stopped at 1968" contingent, how dare I not obsess about the stuff that defined their experience, and all that.

Basically, Kennedy is dead. Has been dead fifty years now. Whoever killed him - lone gunmen, broad conspiracy, or whatever - is likely dead with him, unless it was Poppy Bush or Fidel Castro. The damage is done, and was done so long ago that it can't be repaired in any meaningful way.

While it's understandable that people who experienced it continue to want closure, the fact is that those of us who didn't, who live well past that point in history, really have no stakes in it. As I expressed in an earlier thread, we might as well be talking about Garfield or Lincoln's assassinations. It's an important bit of history, but if there is a truth to uncover, doing so won't actually change anything except the footnotes at this point in history.
