Some comments:

You mention what was special about J.F.K? Well his death changed the course of American History. For example, if he had not died, we probably would have had Robert for President. We probably would not have had Nixon. VietNam would have been abandoned much sooner. I saw a old news interview with JFK stating that Nam was a waste of time and he was going to do everything to get us out. That was a couple weeks before Dallas

Joe nobody dieing that same day? Well we can only guess if his death changed history.

As to the "Shark feeding" I am happy for some of it. The child abduction attention is getting kids returned or their killers caught quicker. How is that bad?

As to the interest in tragedy. Well man seems to like it. Why do we romantisie the Titanic?

As to the massacres. Was it not Hitler who said when signed the order for the Jews. "Who remembers the Arminians?" It is simple to judge how can they do that? Well you have to live in an area where life is cheap to begin understanding it.

When I was in India. There was a riot at the Red Fort where a few 1000 died. Numerous stories about people setting themselves on fire. What was the outrage of the time? The South Africans were fixing Cricket games. Go figure.

Now to our regularly scheduled program.
