@ucme, the X’s on the street were removed long ago, but people keep painting them back. One expert claims that one of the X’s is fairly near the right point, but they honestly can no longer be considered accurate.
@Pachyderm_In_The_Room what a special story you have!
Me, I was in diapers when it happened. I remember my mommy :) putting me in front of the tv so she could clean my lunch mess in peace. There was lots of people and it got my attention. Suddenly my mom came into the room screaming, and I jumped. Then she was on her knees, crying and denying. I got very frightened and tried to crawl on her lap, such as it was, but she pushed me away. From what I could gather, I thought my daddy had died. When the funeral procession aired, I still hadn’t seen my daddy., he was a trucker. Somebody visiting to watch it on our tv pointed out John John and told me it was HIS daddy. I went from feeling miserable for me, to miserable for him.
How would things have been different? We had a royal family. If he lived, his affair(s) would have come out. It would have had an awful effect. No telling how effective he would have been in office for a while. It might have lit a fire under him though, to achieve something really special to get the love back. Maybe it was like the tower of Babel though. Maybe they were too much like a royal family, and this country was just never meant to have a king. The tower just HAD to come down. I think it’s very sad, but I guess lots of people expected lots more from him than I would have.
