   Apologies for this later reminder of yet another documentary on the JFK assassination, but this one should be both worthy and worth your time: ...

   This is another really good documentary that really captures for people intellectually how devastated the whole country was by the Kennedy Assassination which was only made 10 times worse by his brother Bobby's assassination and Martin Luther King's Assassination. You can trace the lack of faith in our government (presently 10% to 11% approval of Congress) directly back to the Kennedy Assassination. Faith in our government has only gone downhill ever since.

   It is also why the younger generation protested the Viet Nam War because they felt whoever started the war had killed Kennedy also. However, if you actually study this historically the Viet Nam war was thought up by Kennedy as a direct alternative to Global Thermonuclear war and world extinction of the human race. But, at the time people didn't tend to know all this.

   Also, when people outside in Dallas wanted Oswald to be released so the people there could kill him and how he should be slowly burned alive it reminded me of all the young all the way to old men I knew back then. They meant this. This would have been what they would have really done then if they ever got their hands on Oswald whether he was the only one or not. 
   
   You would be less likely to hear this kind of talk in public now because people are more PC (politically correct). However, then there was one kind of talk (only for men among men) and one kind of talk (more polite) around women.
   
   The talk among the men in Dallas is unvarnished and what they would have actually done if they ever got their hands on Oswald then.
   
   There is more similarity to 1900 in the way people were then than now.
