40 years ago today I was ferrying a F-89J from the Maine Air Guard at
Bangor, ME to the Oregon Air Guard at Portland OR. Chugging along at
20K, keeping under the big jet stream blowing east, I was about 150
out of Oklahoma City, my next refueling stop, when ATC came up on
frequency and announced that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas
and was dead.

May he rest in peace.

You know, I NEVER would've guessed in a MILLION YEARS that a passing
mention
of this anniversary would touch off a never-ending thread filled with
opposing ideologies, warring political philosophies and decades-old
resentments. I mean, WHAT A COMPLETE SURPRISE.


Probably comes from the Kennedy mystique being so much fabricated myth.

Nah!! That's a myth as well.

No, it comes from the first rule of Usenet--I argue, therefore I am.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yes there is!
