Grateful for a democracy that could handle the very horrific assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was an A student in American History, but that cold November day in 1963 was not like anything I had read in books.
Over the years, much has been written - and I have read a lot of it. After all the shouting and posturing and analysis and reflection, the nitty gritty is that we as a nation survived. We had survived before. And we have survived since.
It's comforting to know that we have a such a good system in place!

Matt and I started watching "The Man in the High Tower" last night. It's on Amazon Prime. You might find it interesting--a miniseries imagining the 1960s after Hitler and Japan won WWII. Based on a story by Philip K. Dick. Anyway we've only watched the pilot episode, but I thought it was good enough to keep watching.
The 1960s in the United States, that is.
It does sound interesting. Thanks for the heads up - now I just need to remember it when we are wondering what to watch - I guess I should keep a log or something.
