Question: If neither Kennedy had been killed...
And they had both served as President of the US - where do you think we'd be by now?

2. To add to the other post...
Urban decay and poverty may have been decreased, stronger social safety net, a true type of Universal Health Care by the 1980s, etc. Will the U.S. be perfect? No, I don't think so, but a hell of a lot better off than it is now.

3. I think we might have had beaten the USSR in the late 60's
Bobby would have led us through the 70's...

We'd be a lot more like Europe for sure...

4. That was my thought too
We would be a lot like Europe, with universal medical coverage and a more equal distribution of wealth.
I wonder what this would have meant for old European colonies that became independent in the 1960s. Would they also be a lot better off, suffering fewer of the wars they've gone through in the past few decades?
