    You have to realize the heart of America was broken when they killed Kennedy. Since then the place has become exactly what he feared it would be. Not the only heart that was broken in the early 60's. I spoke to my great uncle Jack in the early 90's who was OSS when it became the CIA in '47. He explained that "SR was his baby, and that the program was halted not because of funding being cut, it was the way they did it, and that involved your grandfather". The plane my grandfather was on was last on the ground on north shore Lake Tahoe, the same place where the Cal-Neva is and where the Kennedy shooters were said to have met discovered in the investigation within a year later after the Kennedy assassination. My family was pretty much aviation lovers, after all that they ran from it. There is a lot more to the story that I can see since they croaked my father up there 5/1/2013. It was 25 years before any real development in aviation took place, and what I believe that was in the heart of my great uncle Jack is if the mob is enjoying the same rights and protections for all the hard work as the tax payers, then why do it. Kennedy feared a mob run country, he got his worst nightmare. We can pretty much expect anything at this point, but if revolt should happen, spare the brass, the mob is your target, brass are only their puppets.
