[QUOTE=Sidney](A Yahoo and CNN report) They claim he was shot in the back by 2 gunmen, not shot in the front by Sirhan Sirhan![/QUOTE]I saw two of these "experts" briefly interviewed the other day. Not very impressive. Beware nutcases looking to make a name for themselves.
[QUOTE=Doggboy] Beware nutcases looking to make a name for themselves.[/QUOTE]My exact thought when I heard them.
[QUOTE=Sidney]Normally, CNN should be accurate. Surely, it should be easy to determine if RFK was shot in the back.[/QUOTE]Hey El Sid,
No offense intended, but I agree! If RFK had been shot in the back it would have been known long before now! There is a cottage industry of so called experts who pop up every so often with "amazing" information that might indicate a conspiracy with any number of events in the past. CNN and any other number of reputable and less reputable media organizations air this stuff for two reasons-1. The populace is intrigued and will watch, resulting in increased viewing numbers and hopefully increased advertising rates and 2. On the off chance that the "experts" are right, then CNN or whomever doesn't want to be left out and looking like they got scooped.
People love this kind of silliness and can't get enough of it, thus we will continue to see it ad nauseum. Just this week the Titanic tragedy was blamed on BAD RIVETS! I ain't no structural engineer but I'm guessing that iceberg would have laughed at the better rivets as well.:)

DO NOT BUY FROM PETRO EXPRESS!
'PETRO EXPRESS' IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY 'CHAVEZ.'
BOYCOTT 'CITGO' AND 'PETRO EXPRESS'.[/QUOTE]Maybe you should actually read that snopes article: [url]http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/citgo.asp[/url]
"Many different oil companies buy crude oil from Venezuela, so even Americans who shun CITGO brand gasoline have no guarantee that they aren't still sending their money to that country. And although Citgo may be owned by Petrleos de Venezuela, it is a formerly American company which is still headquartered in the U. S. (in Houston, Texas) employs 4,000 people, and supplies 14,000 independent retailers with gasoline and other petroleum products -- Americans with no substantive connection to Venezuela who would be economically harmed by such an action. (Citgo also provides free or discounted heating oil to low-income communities and tribal reservations within the United States. And, of course, in today's oil market Citgo could likely find alternative buyers for its products far more easily than the U. S. Could make up the shortfall created by a cut-off of Venezuelan oil."

BOYCOTT 'CITGO' AND 'PETRO EXPRESS'.[/QUOTE]Hmm. Buy my gas from countries of the middle east who have pronounced their hatred for us for 30 years and have actively acted against us (9/11) or from a paper dictator who hates everyone?
Are you advocating boycotting just Chavez or those in the middle east? If you advocate boycotting both for their hatred of the US, you have better sell your car and not fly anywhere anymore!
Hard decision but I think I prefer to support Chavez over those in the middle east. Chavez's dictatorship will be relatively short-lived compared to those in the middle east.
Suerte.

So, Sidney, do you use public transportation in Buenos Aires or do you take taxis all the time? Taxis? Yeah, I thought so.
This post said something about hitchhiking earlier, was it edited?
