I think it didn't help in my case that before last night the only thing I knew about JFK was 'something about a grassy knoll' (no idea what that even was), that he was a democrat president, that he was assassinated, and that EVERYONE EVER loved him because his kids still do speaking engagements for stuff like Obama's campaign.

It was an information overload that for some reason triggered the OCD in me. Not a pretty sight.

I do think it's cool that for a decade people stopped caring, and then some guy made a major theatres film and a whole new generation started caring, enough so that the gov of the time (Clinton, I think) decided to decomission a bunch of the reports. People should never underestimate the power of a good movie.

Like we've all said a thousand times "fandom understands me." It's the truest truth.

*drive by high fives* I hope your leg is feeling better.
