Our children's history books are a sham and an outrage. I firmly believe that President Eisenhower's warning in his farewell speech was ment for JFK's ears. I also believe that by the end of President E's second term, he was realizing that some other forces were wresting control of our country away from We, The People. And I also think that he realized that is vice president was, perhaps, complicit.

and here we sit, older and wiser, maybe. I guess all we can do is to tell our side of the story. You do it so well. Thank you.

Cheers, my friend!
