November 22, 1963 - exactly 45 years ago - our then President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated and died.

For those who may not remember these events or may not have been around at that time, here is a link telling a little about the events of that day:

one of my all-time favorite stories involves my best friend, extremely intoxicated, ruining a house party with 70+ people by yelling at someone on the porch who didn't believe the jfk assassination was a hoax.

"WHAT???!!? YOU THINK OSWALD DID IT?!!? ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING??!?! DO YOU READ???? HE'S THE PATSY, YOU (string of expletives)!!!"

I confess to having done something very similar in my college days, shortly after reading Jim Garrison’s “On the Trail of the Assassins”. The only differences were: (1) no expletives and (2) I did not have the excuse of alcohol. *cough* That almost makes it worse, doesn’t it? :oops:

Interesting posts, luke and Srijita. I don't think you are alone in thinking that the JFK assassination was some kind of hoax, and that Oswald may not have acted alone. It's a question that intrigues us all, but one that we may never know the answers to - atleast in our life times.

I've heard there are some things that various people have in papers or records or something like that but they have been ordered sealed up for the next 50 or so years. I sure would like to know what was in there, but by the time they are opened, many of that generation will be dead. So unfair to those people who also lived through and survived this tragedy, I think. They deserved to know too. However, it was probably done that way to protect families, or something.

So many unanswered questions surrounding this event still.
