So he wasn't Abe Lincoln but he was our youthful knight in shinning armor and this date will always seem sad. Personal tragedies trump global moments so everything gets inserted in a certain perspective box when remembering sad moments.
I've been to Dallas many times on business but that city will always remain a strange place because of what happened on Nov 22 1963. A stigmatism rests on the 6th floor of a building that overlooks a grassy knoll.
The simple fact that the total truth has never been revealed makes the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy one of the lowest points in American history if not the lowest.
With Lincoln we learned everything there was to know about who and how and why.
With JFK we have learned absolutely nothing. The back story on Lee Harvey Oswald is enough to make anyone question the facts.
There will come a time when we learn the truth but most likely it won't be in my lifetime.
It might not even be in your lifetime.
But your children's children will learn what happened and by then no one will even care.
Looking at today's newspaper and reading the news on Yahoo and Google it appears that no one cares....and it's only been 47 years.
