Today's Date Is Historic, But...

It was 58 years ago that JFK was assassinated. I was 18 years old. I heard something on the common room TV as I was leaving the dorm for my BIO 101 survey class. I watched for a minute. Then, I went to the class and interrupted the lecturer to announce what had happened. It was a traumatic day for me, since I had campaigned for JFK as a 15-year-old high school kid. In fact, it changed the course of my life, even though I didn't know that on that day.

But, it was 58 years ago. So many other horrors have occurred since then, that I don't mark that date any longer, really. We're still mired in political turmoil. I'm now older than dirt. Things are still majorly screwed up, although there has been progress in some areas.

We are still a violent, unthinking nation, though. I no longer expect that to change, to my dismay.

 :yawn: As the saying goes, the problem with History is that they keep making more or it. :yawn:

Ironically, Dems were fighting to keep "races" segregated in the 1960s, and after a few decades' interlude, are again fighting to get "races" re-segregated.

Yes, Joseph Rosenbaum,  and Anthony Huber,  and Gaige Grosskreutz were very violent.

The first two are very peaceful now; the third is generally peaceful after being "disarmed".

58 years ago a leftist democrat assassinated the last moderately conservative democrat.
The communists won and took over the democrat party.
RIP JFK.

If it wasn't for Rock Head they probably would've never heard about it. 

He was the same insufferable butthole at the age of 18 that he is today.

These mfers would be calling JFK a Rethuglican if he were around today. Wanted strong borders, hated commies, lowered taxes. Yeah, he was a straight up Nazi to them.  :rofl:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Oh yes!

They'd have him run out of town for being a toxically masculine womanizing gun humping fascist.

They like to forget that he was a lifetime nra member and owner of the dreaded AR-15.

     I have a fresh take on JFK: who the hell cares? Every year they spend a few days mooing about where they were and what they were doing when it happened. JFC, it was 60 YEARS AGO.

     Why don't they commemorate July 18/19, 1969?

     At least we know when she died and that she died. God knows how many inconvenient women JFK had killed. Number must be truly Clintonian.

JFK was a weaselly horndog who was serially unfaithful to a beautiful wife and had almost no accomplishments as President. At least Mary Jo Kopechne kept serial adulterer-horndog Teddy the Snorkel out of the WH (other than as a visitor).

More importantly, today is Boris Karloff's birthday!

Born: November 23, 1887 in Camberwell, London, England, UK
Died: February 2, 1969 (age 81) in Midhurst, Sussex, England, UK

He would have been 137 years old today.



Quote from: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000472/
Along with fellow actors Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price, Boris Karloff is recognized as one of the true icons of horror cinema, and the actor most closely identified with the general public's perception of the "monster" from the classic Mary Shelley book, "Frankenstein". William Henry Pratt was born on November 23, 1887, in Camberwell, London, England, the son of Edward John Pratt Jr., the Deputy Commissioner of Customs Salt and Opium, Northern Division, Indian Salt Revenue Service, and his third wife, Eliza Sarah Millard.
