The military shot him because he wouldn't start a war with Vietnam.

The military was already in Vietnam as advisors before Kennedy's death so your statement is really asisnine.

JFK was killed. Then Martin Luther King...Then Bobby Kennedy was killed when it looked like he'd run for president all in a short period of time.

It's obvious "who" killed them.

They missed Teddy though.:'(

Alas, only Christians (mostly evangelicals) read C.S. Lewis, no one reads Huxley, and the Warren Connission Report is better fiction than either put out.

Shortly after their second album, Bob Dylan introduced the Beatles to pot, and their music went through a fundamental alteration as a consequence.

The Chronicles of Narnia are pretty standard childrens' literature; not just for the kids of evangelicals.

It's hard to get a bead on a guy who is weaving as much as Ted "A few more for the road" Kennedy.

kmax87, a perfect summation! What more is there to say?

Just to say that it all sounds like a great deal of hype to me.

I do, and find that he makes a good deal more sense than most writers including C.S. Lewis. Indeed C.I.Lewis, the logician, was also far in advance of his namesake.

Evangelicals have kept it in print and contributed to the foisting of Narnia upon otherwise innocent secularists.

I read most of C.S. Lewis's writings 25 years ago, and found some of it interesting. The Narnia series is awful (unless one is a Christian child).

You are close to death... 😳
Sorry to be the messenger...

Ok seriously, you need to make exercise a priority. People as old as you don't do well if they allow their bodies to seize up from lack of exercise or smoke.

Hey, I'm trying to save your life here. You still have a few good years left if you get that body moving and DON'T SMOKE!
