My God, how far we as a nation have fallen. What would Barry Goldwater and JFK have to say in response to the incivility and incompetence of the most recently defeated Commander in Chief?

Well said, though I suspect, as the article suggests, incivility and incompetence are examples of the old chicken and egg conundrum. RML

I remember where I was when I heard about Dallas. On a Friday evening I was about to enter a dance hall in the Netherlands. The next morning hope disappeared. I remember thinking, I wished they had shot me instead. That illustrates the feeling. I had just finished my army duty and would come to the U,S.A. three months later for the first time. It was an emotional time.
