For the past few days, I've been wondering why there's so much confusion over the JFK assassination when there is so much evidence to work off of. With so much information about one event, and in so many forms, why are we so confused? I mean we have documents, the Zaprudder film, the trials, the list goes on. It only hit me during the panel presentations that having so much information is the very reason as to why the story can't easily be pieced together.  You can't possibly string all the facts and evidence together to form a coherent story.

The fact that the more information there is, the less we're sure about what happened is so ironic. It's like with every addition of pieces of evidence we have in historical events, (with JFK's assassination being a part of history now), the more the fictionality of the events comes up. We feel the need to fill in every single detail so we put things together when they don't really belong that way and we fill in the blanks with assumptions and guesses.

And, just to go off on a little tangent here, I feel as if this is why Libra is one of the most believable stories as to how the assassination was planned and taken out, not because I actually believe the story in Libra as a whole, but because the planning and the way the plan was taken out wasn't the "perfect" humans expect. Thus, the story shines in its authenticity in being realistic. I can easily see many dynamics of what happened in Libra actually having took place. Although these characters are made up, I can easily see a Raymo or Everett having planned out what they were going to do assuming Lee missed.
