Missing Octafish today. That is all. nt

39. 'Read my lips, no new taxes' is a direct quote by HW Bush. That doesn't mean anything.

And Octafish cannot 'take it up' with him because like his brother he got killed, didn't he? He knew how the system worked because he'd been raised as a part of it. He'd been by his brother's side during his presidency. He was advocating ending the war in Vietnam and was a strong proponent of civil rights. I've always wondered if (or which) of those particular stances had anything to do with his killing. I never considered Sirhan a random shooter. You know, just a 'randomly gun down a front running presidential candidate for no reason' type of guy? I think not.

I had a professor in undergrad school who wrote an obscure book called Kennedy and La Cosa Nostra, which basically took the position that RFK was killed by the mob because when Attorney General he had cracked down on organized crime so hard. Was that a conspiracy theory? Was this guy unstable or imbalanced? Mentally deficient?

LOL, well I sat through some of his classes, and he was a nice enough guy. Smart. Ph.D. in History. Good at research. Knew his stuff.

But I'd hardly call him unstable, imbalanced or mentally deficient. See, that's pejorative - merely dismissing his theory as a 'conspiracy' without delving into his facts are systematically refuting them. And that is the exact issue I'm taking with your posts, with all due respect. Some things you can't just laugh off.
