50 years have now passed since the end of Camelot. Friday, November 22, 1963 was a sunny, warm day in Dallas, TX. People lined the streets to see President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his beautiful young wife Jackie Kennedy as their presidential motorcade made the turn into Dealey Plaza at half past noon.
This inspirational leader then raised his hand to wave and the crowds, when suddenly it all ended as a rifle shot rang out. The president’s had been critically injured. His wife Jackie looked at her husband. His hands clutching at his throat. Then another shot was fired seconds later. This one exploded the right side of the his head.
JFK ASSASSINATION BREAKING NEWS REPORTS- NBC, ABC, CBS - 50 YEARS LATER: http://youtu.be/oiFwRRfScKc
Only few times in modern U.S. history have affected our collective national psyche as the assassination of JFK. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor; World Trade Center on 9/11. Pearl Harbor galvanized our nation into action, resulting in World War II. 9/11 made us more vigilant about the risks of terrorism. We invaded Afghanistan, dismantled al-Qaeda's leadership and eliminated Osama bin Laden.
JFK’s assassination left many losing confidence in our nation, as conspiracy theories abounded.
This was the catalyst for much of the anger which characterized the ‘60s. An anti-establishment bias penetrated young people, who were dying in an unpopular war in Vietnam.Other public figures were assassinated, including JFK’s brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Counter cultural gurus urged young people to turn on, and drop out. Anger and disillusionment over racial inequalities turned ugly and violent. Riots erupted from the east coast to the west coast. And then came the Watergate break in, which shattered any remaining illusions about the sanctity of our nation’s highest office.

50 years later, our citizens have lost faith in government officials because dishonesty increases.
There is plenty scientific date available for ll of US to require that anyone running for public office take an IQ, personality and honesty tests and then post these results on a public website. It is only through the election of honest, intelligent individuals with kindness and integrity that we will find our way out of the political wasteland.
If we don’t make good character a prerequisite, we will continue to elect self-serving individuals to lead us. Term limits is another measure, no matter how wealthy an individual is. Also ban lobbyists. Finally, districts should be determined by population alone to eliminate gerrymandering and provide greater representation.
In the meantime, criticize, cajole and praise whenever applicable all public officials and equally hold Republicans, Independents and Democratic representatives to task whenever your needs are not being met. Only these actions produce much needed changes for the public at large.
Some days, do you feel like the Energizer Bunny with a weak battery? You start strong, but by mid-afternoon you can’t quite keep going and going. Fatigue afflicts everyone at one time or another. Assuming your doctor has ruled out serious medical causes, there are a few basic steps you can take to “recharge your batteries.”
Pace yourself. A go-getter likes to keep going, but don’t risk overtaxing yourself. If you pace yourself, you can still get things done. Instead of burning through all your battery life in two hours, spread it out between morning tasks, afternoon tasks, and evening activities — with rest and meals between.
Take a walk or a nap. There’s nothing more satisfying than a short power nap when you’re pooped out. However, if you have trouble sleeping at night, napping can make the insomnia worse. If that’s the case for you, get moving instead. Get up and walk around the block, or just get up and move around. If you are not an insomniac, enjoy that 20- to 30-minute power nap.
Fatigue is a symptom, not a disease, and it's experienced differently by different people. Fatigue from stress or lack of sleep usually subsides after a good night's rest, while other fatigue is more persistent and may be debilitating even after restful sleep. Harvard's Special Health Report, Boosting Your Energy, provides advice and information from world-renowned medical experts to help you discover the cause of your fatigue and find the right treatment or lifestyle changes.
Skip most supplements. You may have heard about energy-boosting or “anti-aging” supplements. There is no evidence they work. There is no evidence that DHEA offers any real benefits, and the side effects remain a question mark. You especially shouldn’t be buying it from ads in the back of a magazine, because you don’t know what’s in it. Iron. Iron only improves energy if you are clearly deficient, which a doctor can check with a blood test. Unless you are low in iron, you don’t need to take it, and getting too much iron can be harmful. B vitamins. It is true that B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) help the body convert food into the form of energy that cells can burn, but taking more B vitamins doesn’t supercharge your cells. That’s a myth.

Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry
Never sit around feeling sorry about circumstances or how others treat you. Instead, take responsibility for a role in life and understand that life isn’t easy or fair.
Don’t Give Away Power
Never allow others to control you, and don’t give someone else power over you. Don’t say things like, “My boss makes me feel bad,” because you are in control over your own emotions and have a choice in how to respond.
Don’t Shy Away from Change
