JFK

By the way,,, think about that famous JFK quote... "Ask not what your
country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"

Um. Wrong three-initial president. Try FDR.

Sorry, Pete. It was JFK's innaugural address.

November 22 is Margy's birthday as well. I'm omit the year so as to not

myself.

Incriminate yourself? Cradle robber?

No actually, she's older than I am.

No, I believe he got it right. From JFK's 1961 inaugural. FDR's most famous
line was "We have nothing to fear but fear itself"

Or Pat Paulsen's "We have nothing to fear but fear itself...and the boogeyman."

His other great polictical idea was to turn the deficit into a governement program and
then start cutting back until it is elimimated entirely.

Not only that, but many people are honest, have integrity, and believe in
morality and still have affairs.

Evidently your definitions of "honesty", "integrity", and "morality"
conflict with mine. I'd be interested (though probably not on an aviation
newsgroup) to hear how someone can possess those attributes while at the
same time cheating on their spouse.

The mental gymnastics it would take to bring those two diametrically opposed
moral positions into balance would be fun to watch, if nothing else.

End result: JFK may have had some good traits as a leader -- and I don't
think he wasn't in office long enough to prove that assertion -- but he was
not an admirable man.

(Which, by the way, doesn't reduce our national grief at having had a
sitting president assassinated.)

The Kennedy's are/were rotten to the core. Wealthy to the point that they
didn't belive that the law was for them.


Well, Bobby wasn't bad. And Joe Jr. died in a very risky mission he volunteered for.
The biggest problem is that Joseph Kennedy was hardly the type to instill a sound sense
of morals in his sons.

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.

I was in Junior High when I heard the news, and I remember my first thought was
that I hoped my father had a sound alibi.

He may have had a much greater love for his country than for his wife.
He may have paid a lot more attention to running it than running his
marriage.

It happens.

It is interesting that this rather small-c conservative newgroup has not
mentioned his military service yet???

How did they know since it wouldn't happen for another 8 days yet?

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.

He was in office for nearly three years. If your leadership can't be
proved in that amount of time then you don't have it.

No actually, she's older than I am.

No way!
