10. Some people think this was the beginning of this country becoming unhinged. in this country

It wasn't just a presidential assasination, which was bad enough, it was the whole Kennedy thing.

The worst thing imaginable had happened to the man who had it all, looks,money, position, Camelot, a beautiful, close and powerful family. He seemed totally untouchable. He was the real life American man on the hill that we all envied and admired so much - that it could happen to HIM! How very vulnerable the rest of us were!!

After that, life just seemed rotten - like getting hit in the stomach with a cannon ball and still having to get up and go on.

Hard to describe, I just feel, as a nation, we lost our footing on that day and have been stumbling ever since.
