Subject: RE: BS: New info on JFK assassination?
No, Bill, I don't believe. I suspect. How could I believe when I don't know for sure?

It amuses me too, L.E.J., because it's all as predictable as anything else that people have strong opinions about. They are no more easily moved from their favorite opinions than a barnacle is moved off the hull of a ship... ;-) This is equally true of people on both (or all?) sides of the argument (Oswald did it alone/ he didn't do it alone/ he didn't do it at all/ etc). They are all equally stubborn about the rightness of their opinion for the usual reasons that people are stubborn about everything they have an opinion on. Those reasons are pyschological, not logical.

It ain't really worth sweating over, but it has amused the more cynical and wry observers of humanity from time immemorial, and it clearly amuses you and me as well, and Bill too, I would gather.
