OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED JOHN JOHN!

Well thats a new low for me.

YOU REPUBLICAN BASTARDS!!!!

Jr. was probably getting head from that hot little wife of his when he noticed a whole lotta blue coming at his face at a very fast speed. Ah well, there are were worse ways to go, I suppose...

Yeah. I have this image of him going "Hey guys, let me show you how good I am at skimming the water" what a god damn show off.

Ever since Jackie O passed away, the family has gone to the dogs. That what happens when you put Teddy in charge.

On a more somber note, It's simply horrible what that family has had to go through over the past 40 years. Regardless of your political affiliation, recognize that the Kennedys are the closest thing to royalty that America has. The nation watched these children grow up. JFK Jr. was the US equivalent of a Britich Prince.

God bless you, Kennedy family.

Uh, no... this rediculous drooling over the Kennedy's stopped by the 70's. No one under the age of 30 gives a shit, except for the females who think JFL jr. used to be a hotty.

Well, apparently not.

Finally, someone I aggree with. I'm not saying it wasn't a horrible thing to happen, but damn! All these people who don't even know him are upset about it. If it had been anyone else, it wouldn't have even been on the news. Just because of who he is, we're getting all this crap about it rammed down our throats. I think what really bugs me, is that the same people who are so upset about JFK jr dying wouldn't give a rats ass if it had been a total stranger. Hippocrites.

Well, as someone over 30 who remembers where he was when he heard the news of JFK's assasination and also RFK's assasination...

Remember when that old fart English newspaper tabloid publisher fell into the ocean and was lost at sea? Not Murdoch, but this other guy. His death was in the English news a lot right at the time. JFK Jr. was a rich dude who ran abig-time magazine and whose family was important to '60s politics. He was a celebrity. You should expect afew days of this.

Perasonally I don't care, and I didn't care when Princess Diana died, and I was sure pissed off last night when NBC carried this full coverage of the search instead of letting me get my weekly fix of that theater of the absurd called The McLaughlin Group! I wait all week for my dose of Stenrotian pomposity and yelling ans screaming and GOP shilling and all I got was that crap!

But you should get to know why the Kennedy's were important to some of us who were your age 30 years ago. (I still think the LAPD had a hand in RFK's assasination.)

Anyway, I'm not so serious as to take offense at the title of this thread. It's pretty damn funny!

Exactly. Sure... it's a tragedy when someone dies... but was there this much attention over Mel Torme when he passed away a couple of months ago? The media is hyping the hell out of this story... like hyaenas diving on a scrap of meat.

That doesn't change what happened. I'm always mystified by the negative outpouring that follows the death of renown figures. Like it's bottled up and waiting for the next one.

I suppose nobody gives a rat's ass that a woman also lost two daughters yesterday?

And I'm pissed off because some stupid announcement interrupted an episode of The Simpsons that I had never seen.

Ummm, why should Americans care about royalty? Wasn't the whole revolutionary war trying to get away from that? And if the Kennedy's are American's version of the royals, why should we care? JFK jr did nothing, he was just a rich kid.

Fuck the royals.

Ummm, the war of independence was not about the monarchy per se, it had to do with the conduct of one particular monarch and his Tory minions in Parliament. Don't forget, these were the days when the House of Lords had more power and influence than it does now; cabinet government was still in its embryonic stage; executive power excercised by the monarch was still a concept to which lip-service was paid; and the 1832 Reform Act dissolving the "Rotten Boroughs" and starting the process of franchise expansion, which would eventually culminate in universal sufferage, had yet to take place.

In the mid-eighteenth century, the American colonies were quite happy to maintain the link to the Crown. There was no call and no demand for independence. It was only the paranoia of the British (the 1707 Act of Union establishing Great Britain had been passed) Establishment that led to George III's mindless oppression against the colonies, and the resultant war and the establishment of the United States as a soverign state. Canada remains part of the British Commonwealth (the Queen is Canada's head of state) and has done very nicely thank you (recall that UN survey of Canada's desirability as a place to live). In fact the American founding fathers, writes former PM the late Harold Wilson [Wilson, W: The Governance of Britain, chapter 10], based their Constitution on what they (incorrectly) identified the British Constitution to be. They leaned too heavily on the doctrine of separation of powers, where the legislature, executive and judiciary operate separately of each other; this doctrine "Montesquieu in the early eighteenth century claimed to identify in the British Constitution. There was, in fact, no separation between the three constituents, legislative, executive and judiciary, which Montesquieu thought he discerned--even today we have a Cabinet member, the lord chancellor, who is independent head of the judiciary, speaker of the Upper House of the legislature and a member of the executive.

"Constitutions based on theory, particularly when the theory is wrongly conceived, tend to produce different solutions from those based on seven hundred years of mainly pragmatic experience. The result, put simply and--as many would argue--crudely, is that the United States has a constitution, nominally based on theory, which has had to become one based on compromise, and give and take. The fact that it had to be tested in a bloody civil war no more detracts from that assertion than does the traumatic experience of that war, which was fought not on the separation of powers but on states' rights and the issue of slavery and secession." Anyone who is interested in further pursuing this area is directed to the publication cited above.
