I don't like mansions. They depress me. In fact, I even feel sorry for a rich husband and wife living in a forty-room mansion. They're obviously searching for something they don't have, such as happiness or the respect of others.

The discrepancy or contradiction is the entire story. And being the entire story, it by itself discredits the entire twenty-six volumes of the Warren Commission. Nothing else has to be shown or even argued.

Image
When I do form an opinion, I'm very aggressive about it. But I don't form that opinion until I've done a tremendous amount of work.

Image
[Faith] is nothing more than wishful thinking, and the wish is no evidence of anything beyond itself. Yet so many religious people take their wishes for reality.
Vincent Bugliosi
Image
I only form an opinion when I feel that I've done sufficient research and have sufficient access to information.
