To at least try to clear up the worship of one "celebrity", JFK Jr.

I think, and feel, that people were looking to John Jr. to bring back "Camelot" as the succesor to his father's legacy. America has had quite a long affair with the Kennedy clan to begin with and there's not alot of Americans (or any human being I know of) that didn't shed a tear after watching John John salute his father's casket as it rolled along the procession route. John Jr. was a very handsome young man, very well liked, and reportedly very intelligent. Although he himself said that he was not interested in entering the political arena his magazine was very well received and he seemed to be on his way to a very promising career. Some may feel envious or not give a damn about him because he did come from an affluent, powerful family that was at one time headed by a man regarded as a real SOB. His Uncle Ted and cousin Willie both caused further disgrace. I personally felt that John Jr. was more or less getting a deserved good deal having survived the scrutiny that a family living under the microscope experiences.

Unfortunately a new Camelot was not in the cards and his life ended all too soon.

I do keep wondering what might have been...

Now back to your regularly scheduled bickering.
