I am writing an essay regarding the Kennedy assasination. Since I know we have several knowledgable people that frequent the forum, I would like to take a survey and see the results of it. I am hoping the results would help me with the essay.

My question is...
why is the Kennedy assasination still talked about?(considering its been 40 years since it happened) Why do a big portion of the population think there is a conspiracy theory behind his death?

I have writen down several reasons, but would like to see what other people think. Compare and contrast my findings with others.
Thank you..

EDIT: being in college, I should have known to end questions with a question mark.
