Wrinkle in Time

Okay what if? That seems to be the underlying question at the bottom of every conspiracy theory that ever existed. President Regan was shot yet not a word about a conspiracy not to mention a whole book. Why? He lived. Whatever President Regan was going to do as President he did. Now we come to President Kennedy and the great question that haunts the early baby boomers what if Kennedy had not been killed. What if he had lived out his Presidency? Would he have handled the VietNam war better? Maybe so, maybe not. Would it have matter much in the long term aspects of the Cold War? Would President Kennedy have passed the Civil Rights and Voting Rights bills? Interesting as those bills were passed largely due to his passing and the efforts of LBJ that no one in the Kennedy administration had sought to utilize. So what would be the great outcome had he lived? Presidents are only around for four or eight years. President Kennedy would have left office in 1968 at the latest. He would not have remained in office throughout the lives of the Baby Boomers. Perhaps as one old sage once said. "What could have happened did."
