One distinction I'd make. The elder Kennedy brother died in combat. Someone who is assassinated is a victim. Someone who dies in combat is a hero.

Oh, Goody... The Conservative Culture of Denial and Defense of the Indefensible is still festering. "Don't judge my foolish behavior and that frees you up to do whatever the heck you feel like, too." Judging others by a standard that one cannot meet themselves is bufoonery. I know you've all done things you now regret. We all have. Ask George W...he'll talk someday. [After Gore is elected.] "Did I miss a couple..." I doubt it. Joe was no coincidence...plane went down on a "secret mission". JFK JR. wasn't an "accident".

Rain On The Scarecrow - John Cougar Mellencamp Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land" When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows There'll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name And some nights I feel like dyin' Like that scarecrow in the rain Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow "Is there a statute of limitations on how long we have to stand solemnly and speak in reverential tones? Nope... "Leading inexorably, of course, to a society that judges no one for their actions. Great" Pardon me, but its been an "anything goes" society since the 40's.
