In years past, the primitives always remembered November 22 a few days before November 22; this year, the primitives didn't remember November 22 until November 22 is almost over with.

46 years ago today in Dallas
after which an old news-wire photograph of John Connally, then governor of Texas, and some other people
The bonfire's too big to quote in its entirety, and so in memory of JFK, I'll quote just the primitives whose screen name starts with "J," even though the California piggy primitive's at this bonfire.

5. Just that it's been 46 years
He was one year older than I am now...yikes. I was born 9 months to the day after he was murdered and I used to think "what the hell were my parent's thinking?'..lol. That was before I learned that 9 months isn't an absolute.

11. Yeah
That's why I said it was before I knew the reality of it.

19. Lol...thanks
Like I said, I don't really give a crap about them, but to think that someone took the time to unrec a thread on a remembrance of JFK's assassination is just plain weird.
One exception to the "J" rule, franksolich's favorite primitive:

42. Our country never really recovered from that fatal blow.
So much potential squandered. So much hope lost. A future that could have been but never was.
Truly, the America that we know of today could not exist if JFK had lived.

54. Sitting in Sister Bernarda's Sixth Grade class when one of our classmates (it was our job sort of to answer the phone in the next room) came back with the news the President had been shot.
Not many "J" primitives at the bonfire; a great plurality of it is primitive conspiracy theories.
