Gillian, you're right. What I SHOULD have said is that it was a fact that Kennedy was shot. There have to be facts, though, in science - the sun rises and sets, that's a fact. Computers turn on when you push the little button, that's a fact. And if it doesn't turn on, there's a problem.

See what I mean? What exactly do you mean by no facts in science?

Thanks for the link, Wolverine. Good to see you weasel-like creatures that are known for visciousness are good for something! (That was a joke on you name, not an insult ) I saved it to favorites and will give it a look-through in a bit.

My post was very much basically an attempt to try to show a lot of the "conspiracy theorists" that come onto here the difference between speculation and claim. A lot of the more annoying types that come here seem to think that if they speculate without fact, that makes it fact based on the fact it was speculated.
