11. for the record,

I personally dislike the use of "JFK" and have since people started doing it.

I admire both men, but it opens up an unnecessary point of vulnerability in debates and so forth. Have we already forgotten about Quayle being chided by Bentzen "I've known John Kennedy, and you are NO John Kennedy"??

to invite even the possibility of bringing that up is irresponsible. I don't blame the poster here who did so, but I cringe when I hear it or read it in general.
