The news stations are saying their gonna be cremated and their
ashes are gonna be spread out over the sea. I wish they would
give the public a chance to say good by also. There alot of
people who really care. I don't think any of this has really
been confirmed yet though.

I understand from the news stations, that they are gonna be
cremated and their ashes spread out over the sea. Don't know
about the sisters yet though. Wish they would be out an
official statement. I also wish they would let the public see
the memorial, so we could have a chance to say good bye also.

Wonderful isn't it? They spend all that money to find the latest stiffs in
the long running Dead Kennedys Soap Opera and as soon as they've
recovered them what do they do? They dump them back in the sea.

What a waste of time.

By now, we all have heard that they have been cremated, and their ashes
scattered over the seas. It seems that John requested this a long time
ago, that when he died, he wished to be buried at sea. I was confused
about the cremation part. As someone who has had a Roman Catholic
upbringing, I was always told cremation was a no-no. It apparently, in
recent years, has become acceptable. It still bothers me, although I can
understand why they did it. We all know of the possibilities of "grave
digging". And every day I feel like I will be reminded of his death, not
only because of the news coverage, but the town I live in (Livingston) is
about a 15 minute drive from the Caldwell Airport from where he left. I
just found out that John may have been, at some point, flying over my
home, like a lot of that airports traffic does, on a daily basis and I
never knew it. I have tower lines in my backyard, and from what I am told,
the planes sometimes use the towers as a reference point, so daily there
are airplanes over my back yard. I know that means nothing, but I find it
disturbing to know that while I was watching television on Friday evening
in my family room, JFK Jr. was possibly flying over my home on his way to
meet his maker.

You poor little man. Was it a waste of YOUR time? Then maybe you should
have gone fishing. And seeing that you refer to the Kennedys as a "long
running .. soap opera", why don't you do what most people do when something
is on television or radio they don't like. Change the channel or turn it
off?!? We in America have a long standing respect for the Kennedy's.
While some of them have made really bad decisions in their personal lives,
they are on the whole people who seriously put this country first, who are
the ultimate philanthropists both in time and money and no matter what your
party line, no one can take away their contributions to this wonderful
country. And to belittle what the Coast Guard, NTSB, Massachusetts Police,
United States Navy and every day people did to help recover John, Carolyn
and Lauren is insensitive, demeaning, degrading and reeks of jealousy.

Not a waste of time at all.  They cremated them.  Finding the bodies has given a lot of closure to us.  I feel sad that this happened at all, however by scattering their ashes this way they have insured that no one will suddenly sell pictures of what was left of these three beautiful people on the front of some slimy tabloid.
What a waste of time.

No. It gave me a laugh - not as funny as Diana's demise, but it's
raised a few smiles.

You don't have to tell me that you're an amerikan. Only a yank would
make the mindless, ethnocentric assumption that everyone gets their
news from the tee-vee. FYI, oh presumptious one, I neither have nor
want a television set (or rah-dio) and if I did I wouldn't be receiving
any of that idiotic, amerikan pap on it. I've got a brain.

At least one of those being an atrociously inaccurate altimeter reading.

Rather than being the heroic, duty devoted, patriotic supermen that
your media tell you, those same *wonderful* people have acquired
an abysmal litany of human rights abuses in the name of The Drug
War - secret genocide the only purpose of which is to protect US
narcotics interests. They should be tried as the war criminals they
are. Heroes. I wouldn't spit on your heroes if they were on fire.

> insensitive, demeaning, degrading and reeks of jealousy.

They can't drive, they can't fly, and even when they sit in the passanger
seat they still get shot in the head. Who would be jealous of a fucked up
family of jerks like the Kennedys?

Too bad the weight of you body is smothering it in the seat of your pants.

I see this for what it really is now. You are the ultimate product of
being inbred. Like I stated, you poor little man.

More on your childish level, there is a song that Kermit the Frog sings on
Sesame Street called "It ain't easy being Green". I suggest you learn the
words and call it your theme song.

tragically killed people.

How dare anyone criticize the Kennedy family ?

Hey they may be have been involved in helping the nazis, bootlegging,
gun running, adultery,vote rigging, drunk driving, helping the Mafia
,blackmail, corruption,date rapes, suppressing evidence, war
mongering, and state murder, but didn't Jackie look awfully pretty ?

Have some respect for those who are now suffering - like the owners of
John F Kennedy International Airport

The "someone" who quotes Kermit the Frog is USED to dealing with children,
since I have two of my own. If you're free, maybe you'd like to join our
next playgroup? Oh, and if you want to go swimming, please make sure
you're wearing a diaper that doesn't leak. Like Huggies Swimmies. Or
maybe Depends. Unless of course you are used to wading waist deep in your

If you took the time to read the original post, you'd note that criticizing
the Kennedy's wasn't the issue. Criticizing the American people and the
way this search and recovery of all three people was handled was.

Dear Lisa.
I have pondered your words and this whole burial at sea all day. All
yesterdays posts have disappeared but I believe you said something about not
being able to say goodbye, and I can relate to that, and I am sorry that
you, and the people who feel the same way as you were not able to say their
goodbye's to a man who they may not have known personally, but loved from
afar, not only for what he was, but for what he represented. On Larry King
live someone likened him to Princess Diana in so much as that to a great
deal of people he was the Prince of America, a shining light, a hope, a
dream, another Camelot maybe, but more than anything, in truth, he was a
really nice man, and a credit to his mothers upbringing and a credit to the
memory of his father.
I went to London the day before Princess Diana's funeral, then headed
strait for Kensington palace and laid 4 long stemmed white roses, one from
myself and one from each of my daughters. I then wandered about talking to
people, looking at all the tributes, it was amazing and so full of love and
shared grief. I saw her leave in the flag draped coffin to go to Kensington
palace for her final night there, then, I went back to my daughter in laws
flat to prepare for the next day.
I followed her from KP to Buckingham palace and could go no further so I
found a spot and stood there to watch. The royal family left and the union
Jack was put at half mast, everyone cheered and clapped and cried, they had
backed down, and saluted her, it was a small victory for the people, but a
significant one. After the service, she came back travelling slowly up the
road and people were all throwing flowers in her path and clapping, I
climbed the highest rail I could find and as she passed I shouted "Goodbye
my little Princess, God bless you", and then she was gone. I will always
have that to fall back on, and I find it very special.
Watching the war ship go off with the Kennedy's on board to return those
three young people back to the sea that took them, I found very hard to
understand, I know that John Kennedy wanted it that way, but could he ever
have conceived of the horror that those waters would hold for him in his
final moments on this earth, and would it have changed his mind, I don't
know. Its over now, and life goes on. I see his handsome smiling face in the
clips on the news, as I have seen Diana's for the last nearly two years now,
and life does seem so unfathomable, this is not taking anything away from
all the ordinary good people who die every day without recognition, we
aren't stupid people we know about them, not by name or deed, and we thank
them all from afar.
But this is not about them. I hope one day Lisa you can say your goodbye, in
your own way, and I hope I am right there beside you.

The media keeps saying the Kennedy family wants privacy. How
many people who want privacy would ask for a giant battleship to
be diverted to Cape Cod to carry the ashes out to sea? We're not
talking sailboat here, we're talking the kind of battle cruiser
that carrys cruise missles, a small floating city. Not exactly
a private ceremony.

Look at George, a wonderful, playful and serious magazine that
attracted young people. Now look at the last issue of George, an
absolute caricature that features vultures like Anne Coulter
posing with a provacative mini skirt and a .357 as if she is
some kind of a secret agent, and Alphons D'amato making these
stupid faces. The magazine went from serious and playful, to an
absolute caricature. I don't think that Jr. wrote a single word
in the last issue, the guy was obviously sick of asomething
-he was seeking funding in Canada. Seeking independence.
Instead...

You're certainly bitter, which comes to much the same thing. Don't
forget that we are all conditioned by our position in society -
Kennedys, Bauers, you, me, everyone - and should be judged in our own
contexts, not in each others'.

As with the Paris Crash, the importance of the steep dive off Martha's
Vineyard does not lie in our personal loss (even if we do feel it
deeply) but in the implications of a situation where the largely hidden
political forces, which are shaping our world, may have intervened in
such a way as to betray their presence and purpose. If it becomes
evident that the pilot had a stroke, or a heart-attack, or that the
aircraft developed some fatal fault, prior to that extraordinary plunge
off the radar screen, then we will have to assume that we know what
happened.

As things stand, we do not know; and the unseemly haste, with which the
bodies were disposed of, bodes ill concerning the authorities' intention
that we should know. Unless some dramatic change, in the way this
investigation appears to be being conducted, occurs soon, the plane-
crash off Martha's Vineyard is going to become another episode in the
recurring nightmare of the American subconscious - the nightmare of the
traitor in our midst. This nightmare can only be sustained for so long
before it bursts into consciousness as an insane delusion. We must look
at the facts NOW!

Enough to insist on a satisfactory explanation for the steep dive and

They're not the only ones - everyone with that much money is inevitably
involved in such things. Not that I don't share your concern: the
reason the rich are inevitably involved in such things is that, in a
society where hunger for money is paramount, their huge financial
holdings are beyond their control - politically, socially and morally -
and they are as much the victims of their wealth as most people are the
victims of poverty. The mutually reinforcing roles of the oppressor and
the oppressed entrap the oppressor and the oppressed alike. It's called
the status quo - and what would you put in its place? Chaos? It could
be worse! Much worse!

Gradual improvement, on the basis of individual cases on their own
merits, is the only process by which improvement has ever been achieved;
but only constant effort prevents such slow progress from dwindling to
nothing. The effort required in this case, as always, should be
directed towards discovering the facts of the case - not towards
apportioning blame!

So what are the facts of the case? The Kennedys are a Catholic family
which has produced one President of the US and several Senators and
Congressmen - a larger number of influential people, perhaps, than any
other family in the country. No-one has ever called them "extremists",
"religious bigots" or even "monsters of debauchery", and yet JFK and RFK
were both assassinated in complex international plots (see "Final
Judgement" by M.C.Piper, N...@TeamIinfinity.com) and a defamatory
campaign of sniping from cover has been carried on against them and is
being carried on against them, to this day.

Now, arguably the most prominent member of this clan has died in
circumstances which have not yet been satisfactorily explained. As in
the case (just possibly) of the death of Princess Diana, a satisfactory
explanation may yet be forthcoming, but, if it is not, then we shall
have to assume that the vicious game of power politics has been played
out yet again under our very noses, with consequences at which we can
only guess.

As in the case of the Paris Crash, this could be an opportunity to
insert democratic discernment into that game. If so, then it should not
be allowed to slip away.

In answer to your questions, yes taxpayers money *was* spent. My point was
"Andrew" is not a taxpayer. I am. Most Americans, while they feel the
coverage was too extensive, do not feel that the means used to recover the
bodies was not.

As per a preliminary press report on MSNBC this morning, nothing out of the
ordinary was found in any of the autopsies, no signs of stroke, heart
attack, etc. It also reported that the Kennedy family requested that no
autopsy photographs be taken. It was reported that the three died from,
and please don't quote me I do not have anything in print in front of me,
something along the lines of *traumatic impact* and that all three were
killed instantly. I believe the reason for the cremation coming so quickly
on the heels of the bodies being discovered was to keep anyone from trying
to get snap shots of the three.

I am satisfied that nothing here seems suspicious.

Hmmm. Why not just keep the ashes like others do, and take care
of this all later in private somehow? Heck, they keep moaning about
wanting to be private and how hard it is to be a Kennedy, and then
they go out to sea on a battleship and create the biggest spectacle
in American funeral history. Sounds like people who like the public
eye to me. And did you see Clinton today, releasing all those photos
of HIMSELF with John Jr. at the White House? Man, looks like these
politicians just can't button up the ego for a second, much less
their pants.
So, you are are saying that one good reason to do this with a
battleship was to blow away anyone who got too close to the
ceremony? Sounds kind of odd to me.

If you were paying attention, it wasn't the taxpayer money that should be
turned off. It was whatever media source allowed "Andrew/" to refer to the
Kennedys as a long time soap opera. I simply stated to turn off whatever
it was that made reference to the Kennedys.

While Joe Sr. was an S.O.B. (greedy, philandering, and a bully in his own
right), he *still* instilled into his children the importance of public
service. He was always out to gain for himself, as are many other powerful
people in many countries. And his wife, Rose, well aware of his cheating
ways, stood by him and is the principle reason the Kennedy family has the
deep roots in the Catholic religion as they do. Remember, as a Roman
Catholic family, the Kennedys beat out the odds of winning *ANY* public
seat, let alone the Presidency of the United States.

I can't imagine living anywhere else. This is the greatest, richest, most
powerful country in the world, where people have more freedom than any
other country. Sure, it's not perfect. There are a lot of things that
could and should be better here. But more people leave their homelands
each year and apply for citizenship here than anywhere else. If you've
read any newspaper in the last few weeks, you will have noted that
recently, this country gained a new citizen which, had his father lived to
see it, it would have been the reason for his demise. Does Nikita Kruschev
ring a bell? His son Sergei is of whom I speak. I can't believe that you
can dislike a whole country without there being an underlying reason. So
is there?

And think about the battle for power bewtween the Capone Dynasty
and the Kennedy Dynasty, (the Italian mob vs. the Irish mob) in a
public battle to control the Democrat party.
Come to think of it, a modern day equal would be if a drug lord
went "straight" and moved his sons into politics and eventually
made it to the White House.

Lisa,

To many British people Joe Senior was a little more than just an "SOB".
In WW2, when he was ambassador to Britain, and Britain was at that time the
only european country not controlled by Hitler (thank god for the English
Channel!), Joe was very, very anti-british. I will not go as far to say he was
pro-Hitler, but in many peoples eyes he was. I don't think it an exaggeration
to say that he was hated by the British general public. At the lowest ebb of
our history, when we needed all the support we could get, he offered non, and
tried to kick us whilst we were down.

Roosevelt, however, saw what was happening, and thankfully "recalled" (ie
sacked) Joe.

Many Americans may not realise just how disliked this man was on this side of
the pond. It is maybe even more suprising that his son. JFK, was respected
and liked
immensly over here. That case can not be argued for Edward, however, who, do
to his untimely and ill-informed remarks concerning Northern Ireland is not a
very well liked man at all over here, generally speaking.

With these thoughts in your mind, you shouldn't really be suprised that certain
people from this nation show dislike and disrespect towards the Kennedy's in
general. Over the years they have not been a friend to Britain.

Whilst you obviously greatly admire this "dynasty", balancing out in your own
mind the good and the bad, please be aware that we may see the family in a
slightly different light, and from our point of view sometimes the bad bits far
outweigh the good bits. Thanks.

Points well taken. I am aware of Joe Sr.'s attitude towards the British,
his habit of putting his foot in his mouth, his underlying support of the
Nazi's, etc. He is not whom I am trying to defend, just trying to explain
why the family is endeared to many in this country. I also can tell you
Joe Sr. wasn't well like in his *own* country either. But his sons were a
different story. I can understand why those on your side of the pond may
feel the way they do. What I *don't* understand is the many instances
sighted here as of late with regard the this country, MY country? I can

I'm not sure I have the answer to this. To many peoples eyes in this country
the present government is getting far too "puppet like" with regard to the
"special relationship" between our two countries. This resentment may find an
outlet in any soft target, such as a newsgroup, or whatever.

Other people resent the globalisation that is perceived to be centred on the
American culture. Most of the people I meet with this attitude, however, always
seem to be wearing Levi's and a t-shirt dedicated to such great bands as "Korn"
or "Green Day", whilst eating a Big Mac, drinking a Coca-cola, and using slang
terms repeated from an episode of the Simpsons.

Also, many British people think, as you do, that we live in the greatest
country in the world. I suppose many french and Italian people have similar
thoughts. At one time it was undoubtedly true that we lived in the most
powerful nation on earth, and the British Empire was the greatest empire (in
the geographical sense, I hasten to add) that this planet has ever seen. These
times have , sadly for some, now passed, and the USA seems to have taken over
this mantle. Many people regret the passing of this title and so attack the
usurpers.

There are probably many more reasons, and the ones I have quoted are only my
opinions. I should imagine on another NG elsewhere, a british person is
questioning why America seems to hate the British. I think it all boils down to
perception more than anything else.

I feel at home in both Countries.  Love them both.  It tears me apart when anger towards a Government, makes people hate the citizens.  You may not like our policy, but many of us trace our roots back to the UK.  It is like family problems when this stuff happens and the anger erupts.  I have been to the UK, twice, and accept for one or two incidents, most people there are the kindest nicest, most helpful people I have ever met.  It was shocking the two times that we were discriminated against because everyone else was so kind.  I know that tourists don't get the same reception when they come to the United States.  We are not as kind and giving here in the US when people come to visit.  This isn't to say we are not nice, just that the UK people seem to genuinely want their visitors to have a good time.  Maybe Country cooperation is not so much puppet as agreement.  I know a friend of mine in Australia has said that most people there, and friends he has in London, are happy that the ties are so close.  But this is the way it is.  Can't be us, has to be we and they.  I prefer to see the UK as being the parent who the US had to grow up and become independent, but never forgot that Parent was across the sea.  I realize this is oversimplification.

Trevjon;

Thanks. I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder. And maybe I am
becoming oversensitive to all of this. Of course everyone feels that their
country is the best. There is nothing wrong with loyalty or patriotism. I
am very proud to be an American, just as I am sure you are very proud to be
British. I just have a hard time with the generalization made towards
Americans, i.e. if Joe Kennedy Sr. is an SOB, etc., so must be all in this
country. Not so. I do not generalize that since I feel the Windsors knew
or know something about the *real* reason for Diana's demise, ALL Brits
must know and therefore must have participated. I have been to England
twice and I must tell you I find the country lovely and the people I
encountered, warm and friendly. I am trying to get my husband to come back
with me (I went with my sister prior to being married), but he wants to see
Ireland first.

Anyway, thanks again.

Many thanks, Lisa. Now we know that, officially, there was nothing
wrong with any of the persons in the plane which could have caused the
aircraft to dive suddenly into the sea. I would have thought that, of
all the possible causes of this strange occurrence, this would have been
the most likely.

Now I understand why media spin-doctors are frantically suggesting that
"one loose rivet" could have been to blame or "a sudden side-wind". I
do believe we have them on the run, for the moment (remember the "scud-
running" theory?) The real battle (if there is to be one) will come
when the wreckage is assembled.

The input of aero-engineers will be most earnestly sought.

Sure, the Kennedy's only care about themselves???  This is why Ted Kennedy has the best voting record on Civil Rights, Women's rights, the poor, major force behind the creation of Medicare.  I don't know which US you live in, or which Kennedy you are speaking of.  Despite what they did that was negative, they have paid a high price for helping our country.  Had JFK and RFK known about Election fixing, do you really think RFK would have gone after Jimmy Hoffa as he did, which may have been part of what cost JFK his life??  This family has served this Country.  Say what you like about their private life, they have done splendidly in doing their work in their public life.   They are not just out for themselves.  They are out for helping our Country.  Check out the voting records of any Kennedy who has held office.  What about the utility company that helps the poor in MA??  Before trashing people you should have some facts that are not just cheap gossip about mistakes made in one's private life.

I can't just sit by and read this without responding. Lets just get a
few things straight:

1) Kennedy's plane went down, that sucks but the amount of manpower
used to locate them was retarded. Like everyone that ISN'T american
has said, money better spent somewhere else.

2) There is an incredible amount of propaganda in the states. Living
in Canada I see it all the time. YAY America this and that. I think a
few see through it but the majority just eat it up. It's just a load
of crap. Kosovo for instance. Sure there were some crimes being
committed there, a lot, but saying the answer is to drop a whole
shitload of bombs on them AND innocent people...makes no sense. Same
with Desert Storm. YAY America can bomb the hell out of a bunch or
Iraqi's and use tanks with bulldozer blades on them and bury soldiers
alive in their sand bunkers. YAY YAY YAY we're so good. Buy our new
Time Life movie series on how we kicked ass.

3) I try not to stereotype but about 85% of the americans i've met are
just a bunch of arrogant goofs as soon as they hear i'm Canadian. "you
know, we could take you at any time" well whoopy for you. I'm so
proud. You can measure your worth by how much stuff you can blow up,
good for you.

4) Movies and TV coming out of the states is getting to be too much.
You wonder why kids are taking guns to school? Where the hell do you
think they got the idea? Primetime TV shows all that crap on TV. TBS
and satellite TV is full of gun toting knife weilding movies and tv
shows. Of course you can't drink real beer or advertise for hard
liquor on a TV commercial, that would be a bad influence. I say it's
better to see naked chicks on then some guy getting shot in the face,
maybe that's just me.

5) Americans should travel around the world for a while with an
american flag on their back. See how they get treated compared to
other tourists. It'll be a real eye opener. 6 billion people that
don't like americans can't be wrong.

So your royals are also just a soap opera, then? That's a very
expensive progam, what with them being supported from the Civil
List you all contribute to. When will you lot wake up and abolish
the Civil List contributions and make the royals totally support
themselves? It's going to take hundreds of years for them to
deplete the fortunes they've already stolen from your public, so
there's no danger that any of them will go hungry anytime soon.

Not really.  I think that being able to see the good in Countries other than my own is a positive thing.  When I am lucky enough to visit another Country, I look for the good in other people and other Country.  I am not perfect.
No one is.  I can also see that The US is not perfect.  No Country is.  I have pride in my Country.  In my estimation all humans occupy the same wonderful planet.  I love how diverse are World is.   I wish there was not so much covert activity from Countries, but it happens all the time.

I would hope that when I visit other Countries that I will be treated as I treat others.  Except for two instances in two weeks time, I was treated kindly and with respect, as I treated those I met.   I feel I am a good visitor, and I am usually treated that way.  Whether American or Canadian, or whatever Country one is from, one should be treated as Individuals.

Excuse me. I don't believe I deserve to be spoken to this way. We are all
members of the same Planet. Cultures are the only difference. You can be
as rude as you please, because all your doing is venting anger about someone
who has nothing to do with me. Not all American's are as your describe.
Not all Brits are as you describe. We are all human beings, both good and
bad. Just like all other Countries and groups of Human Beings, there are
good and bad. You need to look into your anger. It is a telling sign of
serious problems. I hope your venting has helped. I don't believe bombs
of any kind should be set off anywhere. enough destruction has already
happened, it doesn't need to continue.

Anyone can see the negative of the World. People with Character see the
good in others. Whether it be a person, or a different culture.

I sure didn't set out to cause harm. I was trying to say we are all human,
and used to many words. I also tried to show examples of what I meant, and
ended up saying too many words yet again. Sorry if I said anything to cause
harm. I just wanted to diffuse the situation. I suppose one could say I
was not successful. So what's new??

Yea. Especially people like those Kennedys. Did you see 60 Minutes
tonight? They had a show about a Mafia figure and the start was
about how the Mob made millions during Prohibition. They mentioned
Al Capone and others, but not the Kennedys. Heck, when it comes
to money from illegal booze running, I would think Kennedy would
lead the list considering where that illegal money led. But no,
the media is always picking on people like Capone, because he
didn't go "straight" and get his kids into politics. This is
blatant discrimination against the Waaps.

Terienne,
You have misunderstood my words, this post was not directed at you to
criticise, the exact opposite. We have all been drawn into conflicts by
abusive posters and have tried to answer back with some decorum and half way
intelligent answers, but its not worth it, they don't want to talk to us
they want to destroy our communication lines, which up until just recently
have been quite good. I think your posts have been marvellous and you have
such patience and understanding, wasted on low life like the ones that have
been flaming this board. Keep the faith and the force be with you. :-)

you can give me the whole "do onto others" speech but the fact of the
matter is yanks are gonna get stereotyped. I know a lot of people that
have done a lot of travelling and many of the americans they met were
wearing canadian flags on their packs just so they would be treated
decently. I've even seen it a few times in BC, but their accent gave
themselves away in about one sentence. It all depends where you go and
what kind of relationship the country you are in has with your own.
States have made more enemies than friends in the last year or so, i
wouldn't be waving an american flag in China or anywhere in eastern
europe for a while.

Interesting. I now have at least
two, actually more, news servers.
But in this is reference only to
Supernews(RemarQ) and
www.airnews.net. From memory
on about 7/22/99 10:46 am a
post appeared regarding white
rabbit. My sample was taken
approximately 48 hours later but
the post only appeared on one
of what are publicly advertised
as two of the largest news services
on the web.

How is it that these services
advertise to the public and
yet they do not carry the same
news ?

The post was indicated to have
originated at Newscene which
is another supposedly large
news service.

Now trying to get back to the
point re: acpd that I wanted to
recognize.

Although we don't know the first thing yet about the medical condition
of the pilot or passengers, much less the condition or malfunctioning
of the Piper Saratoga, I think the extensive search was warranted.

Although distasteful to consider ... had the effort not been made, it
is a near surety that some people would mount independent salvage
operations. The possbility that someone would/could do that, and
either get to the bodies or remains first, or to the bits of fuselage,
etc., on the ocean floor, must have been the unspoken and driving force
behind the operation.

Those of us with critical minds, however, also note that if there was a
conspiracy to shoot down/disable that plane, the fact that the US
military moved en force to control the area and remove the bodies and
wreckage would look like a high-level cover-up.

I would hope that when I visit other Countries that I will be treated as I treat others.  Except for two instances in two weeks time, I was treated kindly and with respect, as I treated those I met.   I feel I am a good visitor, and I am usually treated that way.  Whether American or Canadian, or whatever Country one is from, one should be treated as Individuals. 
 
                                        Terry
I can't just sit by and read this without responding. Lets just get a
few things straight:

1) Kennedy's plane went down, that sucks but the amount of manpower
used to locate them was retarded. Like everyone that ISN'T american
has said, money better spent somewhere else.

2) There is an incredible amount of propaganda in the states. Living
in Canada I see it all the time. YAY America this and that. I think a
few see through it but the majority just eat it up. It's just a load
of crap. Kosovo for instance. Sure there were some crimes being
committed there, a lot, but saying the answer is to drop a whole
shitload of bombs on them AND innocent people...makes no sense. Same
with Desert Storm. YAY America can bomb the hell out of a bunch or
Iraqi's and use tanks with bulldozer blades on them and bury soldiers
alive in their sand bunkers. YAY YAY YAY we're so good. Buy our new
Time Life movie series on how we kicked ass.

3) I try not to stereotype but about 85% of the americans i've met are
just a bunch of arrogant goofs as soon as they hear i'm Canadian. "you
know, we could take you at any time" well whoopy for you. I'm so
proud. You can measure your worth by how much stuff you can blow up,
good for you.

4) Movies and TV coming out of the states is getting to be too much.
You wonder why kids are taking guns to school? Where the hell do you
think they got the idea? Primetime TV shows all that crap on TV. TBS
and satellite TV is full of gun toting knife weilding movies and tv
shows. Of course you can't drink real beer or advertise for hard
liquor on a TV commercial, that would be a bad influence. I say it's
better to see naked chicks on then some guy getting shot in the face,
maybe that's just me.

5) Americans should travel around the world for a while with an
american flag on their back. See how they get treated compared to
other tourists. It'll be a real eye opener. 6 billion people that
don't like americans can't be wrong.

Watching the cruise missiles on your tee-vee it's, "USA All
The Way. Ra-Ra-Ra!". When you find out how much people hate
your country's agression it's suddenly got, "nothing to do
with me."

Amerikans like you are just like the Germans turning a blind
eye to the KZ because it was seen as a necessary measure to
maintain their own standard of living.

If you are in the right group then why all this tirade and abuse to people,
if you have anything to offer, other than childish diatribe, then please do
so, if not go off with your foul mouthed buddies and discuss as much crap as
you see fit. This is the last time I will lower myself to answer you, it
must be perfectly plain to you that even if you have contributed to ACPD,
you are not doing that now by incited flame wars. Go away or grow up.

This is not much of an apology considering how rude some of the posts
were from that other newsgroup. Can't people flame each other's countries
anymore without a bunch of do-gooders posting rude things about how
everyone should get along and like each other? I don't know what Usenet
is coming to these days. How the heck can a decent person get along
with people like the Brits?

typical liberal speak - your version of history and opinion doesn't fit with
the truth so the word 'hater' suddenly appears, then you deny we are "people".
But I know you love us really, else you wouldn't be able to promote your own
self-righteousness.
