Re: The Assassination of JFK
LOL
All of this is new to me. I still have the feeling that in my life time, a bit more over a half century, perceptions have largely changed. But indeed, Stavros, nothing I'm saying has any positive value, of course. Might just be pure perception...

Re: The Assassination of JFK
Perceptions do change, but the agendas in politics probably less so. It is rather like the daft idea that nobody had sex before the 1960s or that drugs were something new and interesting -it was all part of the sense people had with a young President that a new age had dawned and it belonged to the young. In fact, pot, LSD and Speed had merely replaced the Opium of earlier years (vide Sergio Leone's opium dens in Once Upon a Time in America); Aldous Huxley's idle rich were smoking pot in the 1920s/30s in Eyeless in Gaza (1936). But it is rather harsh on yourself to say 'nothing I'm saying has any positive value' as your contributions are anything but.

Re: The Assassination of JFK
Does anyone know if the release of previously unseen or heavily redacted documents on the assassination of JFK will tell us something we don't know, or just underline that Lee Harvey Oswald was a nutter who wanted to 'be somebody' but was turned away by the Russians and the Cubans precisely because he was unstable?
