Should we really give the whole country a pass on reason when it comes to JFK conspiracies?

39. Its human nature to believe in them.

The JFK assignation is a conspiracy lovers heaven. Mostly because of Ruby killing Oswald before anyone had a chance to really question him. Why Oswald shot JFK went to the grave with him. No amount of proof or evidence will ever stop the theories. This is not because conspiracy people are wrong or right its just any new information will be treated with lots of cynicism.

Personally, I do believe Lee Harvey Oswald was the person that killed President John Kennedy and that he acted alone.

But that does not mean that there were not other people there that day who were also going to try and kill the President. Because I believe there were. I also believe none of these people (be it groups or individuals), knew of the others intentions.

The conspiracy comes after the murder in this case. Everyone tried to cover their own asses make sure it wasn't their guy or gang that committed the crime and or that their group didn't botch something like security or even protocol for after the crime. And that's where both Jack Ruby (taking care of Oswald) and the Warren Commission (making sure nothing could come back to the government in any fashion), come into play.

I also never believed the magic bullet bull crap. But I still believe the end result of the Warren Commission was correct. In other words I think they got their conclusion right by accident. Like doing an algebra or math problem and getting the right answer but the work/formula was wrong.
