JFK Remembered 60Years Later

[UltraBudgie]

This is sad. Five years ago, about 20% of the population could remember the JFK assassination, in person. I wonder what that percent is today. I guess we'll see the same thing with 9/11, in another 40 years. Old conspiracy theories never die, only those who remember them and the fact that there may be forgotten truths buried under the lies of history do.

It reminds me of the last stanza of the song "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda":

And so now every April, I sit on me porch, and I watch the parades pass before me
And I see my old comrades, how proudly they march, reviving old dreams of past glories
And the old men march slowly, old bones stiff and sore, the forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask, what are they marching for? ...and I ask myself the same question

But the band plays Waltzing Matilda, and the old men still answer the call
But as year follows year, more old men disappear, someday no one will march there at all

So that is depressing and all, but it is not a new depressing, everyone's heard it, so here is another Eric Bogle song, "The Waltzing Matilda Waltz":
