I concur... I'm getting sick & tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, just drop it already and let's get on with it.

Feels like we're being politically raped, and it's really pissing me off.

If things keep going the way they have been, they might regret not speaking up while they were still able/allowed to. Seems some things are just too big for some people to deal with, till it smacks them in the face one day and they have no choice anymore.

P.S. Very cute dog, by the way!

Ya, like I said, few people seem to question it. Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to chat. I'll be checking out that link you left me!

I almost always include links, but not always when it's something I've already linked to dozens of times. In that case, I figure if people are interested enough, they'll want to do their own research... and if they're not, then I'm not gonna continue wasting my time just because someone wants to argue again.

That's how I feel every time someone makes that stupid remark... if I didn't want to interact with people, I wouldn't be online, duh. I especially love being able to ask questions in real-time and verify the answers when it's important to me.

You could be right, maybe I'm wrong... but maybe not. About religion, do you not find it odd that every American Pres since Kennedy has been found consulting with the pope concerning how to govern his own country, including those who've not been Catholics? Much of the world bows down to the pope and few seem to question it. I'd think atheists and people of other religions, even Protestants really, would kick up a fuss to see their leaders bowing down to this guy, but nope. There's also the relationship and history between the RCC and Russia (something else I need to read up on).

I was looking for something that would click in my mind, like when you just know puzzle pieces fit together... and, no, I haven't heard anything like that yet.

Thanks, apology accepted. Thanks also for the link, saved it.

In his entire speech, he never mentions Russia in any form. Meanwhile, he does refer to some enemy in plural form, that is advancing from around the globe, i.e. "those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe", and "this nation's foes", etc. He also warned against religious involvement in politics in a different speech, which I think has gone mostly ignored at our own peril. People scoff at religion if they themselves aren't religious, ignoring the fact that the leaders of the world are mostly very religious people (whether sincere in their religion or not). I mention this because I suspect these two were somehow connected in JFK's mind.

For the sake of objectivity and truth, I'm trying to take into account my lack of any firsthand perspective. I just honestly cannot see how he was talking about the Soviet Union alone when I read what he said and how he said it. It honestly seems to me he had to be talking about something far greater.

Logical fallacy, how so?

So you don't even believe his assassination was planned/plotted (by some group that felt threatened by him)?

Canada should quickly start doing something.

Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me.
