JFK 50 years later...what will Generaton Y remember in 50 years?

Novemeber 22, 1963 was a tragic day in our nation's history. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assasinated and Friday we will commemorate the 50th anniversary of that event. We have been inundated with specials that take us through that fateful day. We have heard eyewitnesses chronicle their rememberances, and we had heard journalists share their thoughts. So many of the key people involved have passed on and Generation X and Y don't seem to share the same level of interest as their parents and grandparents. This is probably the last gasp of the age of Camelot. The golden age of that featured a handsome president and his beautiful wife. A wife who set the fashion standard. Last night as we watched footage of the First Lady in her pink suit and pillbox hat I told my husband that my mom had a suit and hat like that back in the day, and he said everybody's mother did and he was right. It was a time when America idolized what we later learned was a false reality. We never knew the president was physically limited or that he was a womanizer who included Marilyn Monroe among his conquests. Yes it was a magical age. An age when journalists looked the other way, and age when television cameras dared not show us a president that wore a harness so that he could stand straight. It was a true fairy tale. So often people yearn for the good ole days, but what are they truly yearning for? Camelot could not have survived our time. Information is instantly shared via blogs, tweets, and instagrams. There are no secrets, and sadly there will never be another age of Camelot. We have become wiser and more cynical. We believe our goal is to reveal the truth at any cost and in doing that we have eliminated any future Camelots from our existance.
