Thread Name: BS: JFK revisited
Subject: RE: BS: JFK revisited
Some of you have echoed my feelings exactly, Larry,Ebbie, PDC & Don. It was, in retrospect, a time of hope & pride & we "liberals" thought alot of the wrongs were going to be addressed. The great Society Mandate meant alot to many people, and yes he did rise to the occasion in the Cuban Missile crisis. i watched some old newsreels today & dropped a few tears, for them all, John,Robert, Martin,Evers,The 3 civil rights boys and the Children in the Alabama
Church. It seems all the shed blood & broken dreams
have been for naught. We've gone backwards, it seems as though our elected officals, from the president on down to the local councilmen, put every avaristic, self aggrandizing notion ahead of John Q. Public. Our welfare is never considered. We're just the poor souls who pay their inflated salaries, and cushion them against having to go out and earn a living the hard way. It was Camelot-for brief shining moment, and I don't give a rat's ass how many women he had!
