Well my folks hated him just as much because he was Roman Catholic as he was liberal. (Bad sentence structure there.)

I think he was pushed or forced into it. Then Johnson came and they really revved it up, and the war.

Kennedy was young charismatic blah blah and people resented that, especially here in Texas.

I think he was sincere about many things, my opinion is that he was 'installed' like all the others but then went off the reservation.

There's a great book about his changing to a peacenik, supposedly he dropped some acid with Timothy Leary, Leary and JFK's mistress heavily influence him. "Mary's Mosaic."

Another great book about his ideology and the complexities and contradictions is "JFK and the Unspeakable," one of the best.

Kennedy was pretty unhealthy as well, young and too brave too I imagine.

>supposedly he dropped some acid with Timothy Leary

I remember reading something along those lines in High Times magazine back in the 70s, although I don't recall Leary's name being part of the story.

Also read that Teddy had been surreptitiously dosed prior to driving off the bridge in Chappaquiddick.

Teddy if he took any drug did it willingly. Family of trash. Old man put is rebellious daughter in a nut ward and had them hack her prefrontal cortex up. Fuck the Kennedys.

I see, wow I haven't heard that magazine name in probably 40 years.
