SlippedCork, my friend, I disagree with the theory that the Kennedy family is cursed. Everything negative that happens in a family is not a curse. There is a point in every human's life that it must come to an end; it happens by natural progression or by choices that people make.

Because of the Kennedy's wealth, the size of the family, and its political history, detailed records have been kept of significant events in their life. Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information because anyone can sign up with that website and post or change information. Just my opinion.

I agree with Bug, after all look at the Grumpy Clan Curse: My father died of lung cancer six months before he was due to retire at age 62.

My mother died from emphasyma and never smoked in her life.

My oldest brother died from a parasite in his brain that he picked up in Afganistan just as he was moving up in a very promising career in the State Department.

My younger brother and two older sister all died at an early age from lung cancer.

And Ol' Grumpy is doing just fine!! Go figure!!

Grumpy, this is not meant as any inference about you; what you wrote just reminded me about Sweetie Pie's family. His father died at 51 of alcoholism, mother died in her sleep of a stroke, sister and brother died of lung cancer, 2 brothers died of strokes while in their late 30s, his eldest brother died of mouth/throat cancer, another brother died of cirrohosis of the liver at 43. That was the sorriest bunch of people I've ever seen and would steal you blind and try to "borrow" every dollar in your bank account. For some strange (?) reason they didn't like me. lol

I used to tell him that the doctor gave his mother the wrong baby when she left the hospital because he didn't look and act like the rest of the family. He is tall, ambitious, a hard worker, and very smart; the rest of the family were average height, lazy ___(I'll get banned from the board if I use that word) and short on brains. His mother gave him away when he was 3 years old to his uncle and aunt who had no children. I won't go into the intimate details but I always wondered why she chose to get rid of only him. As it turns out, his mother had just given him to his biological father and his aunt told me about it just before she died. Sweetie Pie's biological father died at home of 'old age' at 95. He had no education, couldn't read and write, but was a good man and the smartest man I ever knew. He owned/operated a large cattle farm all his life and died a very wealthy man.

I'm sure Sweetie Pie's "family" was cursed, I DID IT....lots of times.

No problem Bug, you just reinforced what I was infering--Rich and Famous People get cursed, the rest of us just die from "natural causes".

Excellent opinion BUG but was there anything not true in what I posted? Please correct me if there was and I will happily correct it if I can.
