Besides which, even if there was a Kennedy conspiracy, assuming I live to a reasonable age, sometime in my lifetime everyone involved will be dead and so the question will be as relevant theories about John Wilkes Booth.

That's the thing, Kevin...."old" IS "history" and it does tend to repeat itself unless you take steps to prevent it from reoccurring....especially if everyone who knows the truth is dead.
The truth is never irrelevant. It's important to know the truth....not the theory, but the truths behind the theories. What matters is not the death of Lincoln or even the death of Kennedy, what matters is the fact that our government may have conspired to rewrite the
how's,and maybe the
who's,which would change the
why's and thereby, change the
histories as well. If a conspiracy theory is true, and I am not saying it is or it isnt because I
dont know, think of how that little ripple effects everything that has happened since then......yea, i say unto you - even until your own birth-time.
It's not just
obsession with a past incident which drives people to search and to question...it's a desire and a need to know the truth.
