For God's sake, release all the JFK files

I can't take a barrage of new conspiracy theories. Until the government releases every last document, we will never heard the end of it. Moreover, I can think of no legitimate national security justification for keeping 54 yr old documents secret.

The "magic bullet" has been proven to not be so magic at all multiple times in more recent years, but it just gets ignored.

One example: http://www.npr.org/2013/11/22/246734533/using-modern-ballistics-to-crack-cold-case-jfk

People are really invested in the conspiracy spending an insane amount of time pouring over evidence and reports they aren't equiped to understand, and egged on with innacurate films and other fictional accounts. People have been writing books on this for years too, and it sells.

It's all a big fat distraction from a far more important "conspiracy" unfolding right now anyway.
