Books are wisdom ! I nearly stopped reading over the last years for various reasons. Mainly time, when you leave home at 06.30 and return at 7.00 pm 6 days a week you havent much time. Now I have plenty time and have returned to reading, but in a 50/50 proportion between entertaining books and educational books. One is never too old to learn, and stopping learning you will be out of touch very fast at the pace the world is progressing. When I worked I followed several professional magazine, more even since the appearance of the net. But no more hydr, elec or mechanical drawings for me ! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answers are in classified files that will never be released due to 'national security'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answers are in classified files that will never be released due to 'national security'. A decent theory and one I do not reject. All others I do. Think if it was a conspiracy more likely to be right wing anti Castro nut jobs. There may have been one more shooter but I doubt it. There are also no sealed or classified files that have not been released. Everything was released many years ago and little of value came out apart from some stuff about Ruby etc. Oswald was a Marine marksman and hit with two shots, missed with one dead easy as he was behind Kennedy. I apply what is know as Ockham's Razor. Term in philosophy ....... sometime step simplest explanations are the best. But humans love a good conspiracy theory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
