Most things we do to “help” Africa end up gravely upsetting the balance. One example that stands out in my mind are the tsetse fly eradication programs that resulted in too many cattle & causes rampant desertification. The Western mind simply does not grasp the internal logic of the continent. There are countless other failed NGO projects & feeding a growing population that is grossly out of sync w its environment will continue to do more harm than good.
I’ve seen documentaries that were not substituting actors for the real JFK. One chooses to see things according to preconceived opinions. That’s an ongoing problem with interpretation of history. Since real humans interpret history, real humans assimilate that information right or wrong. To some Hitler looks like a model of a human being. Kennedy as a person did not represent much just like the family he comes from does not represent much. As a digression, Theodore Rosevelt when ask about the appointment of Joseph Kennedy as the Chief of security commission, answered, it takes a thief to watch thief's.
JFK was a shrewd individual groomed to be a politicians just like his brothers. The morals and ethics of the entire clan is questionable. Since Kennedy differed from his predecessors, he was made into an image the world needed. Shrewd is a great word to describe individuals like him.
Matt, the reference to the article written by your wife does not represent much to accept a true answer about Kennedy. His personal life and the life of his entire family is enough to question his integrity. Please note that I mention his personal life first. I did not shed a tear on the news of his death. In Canada and the US elections are the biggest bogus one can only imagine. In your country a drama teacher is a prime minister of great value to Canadians. It is hard to believe that the world functions with leadership like yours and Biden here in the US. It makes one wonder if these institutions a worth maintaining.
