"Maybe the story just won't go away this time.
I have a very strong feeling that after tonight's show the story will be much bigger than it was in the '60s! Maybe word of mouth will just be too much for him to hide from. "
Hi,
I'm here as a result of this topic (PID) being on Coast to Coast. I've found the site quite interesting.
As for as the statement above.....I don't know that the story ever really went away, maybe more pushed to the side.
As I recall, this was a fairly large story in the 60's and 70's.....not large by today's standards as we didn't have the internet to distribute information. Even without the internet I remember this being a rather hot topic of conversation for quite a while.
I even conducted a very unscientific survey in the last 24 hours.....I talked to people in my parents age group (60 year olds), my age group (40's) and my kids age group (teens) the results were surprising.
In brief....
60's.....didn't believe PID
40's.....disbelieving at first, but willing to look at website and then decide. Most now believe PID but have a hard time agreeing on motive for cover-up.
teens.....most had heard of the rumor PID, but really didn't know much about it....probably the most open minded of the 3 groups.
BTW......Not sure how many of you are as old as I am but, some of you may remember that it was said that there were about 10 Lee Harvey Oswald exact lookalikes at the time of the JKF assassination.
Thanks for reading......going back into lurking mode.
