Curse of the Kennedys

Are you still really in the inauguration mood or do you miss the Obamas like crazy? I totally understand, so let me take you into presidential vibes. It all has to do with the latest film about Jackie Kennedy that comes out in theaters on Thursday, of course, you get that.

Now I thought my little house surely had its cross to bear. Hey, where a family lives, things happen, right? Only the Kennedys were and are the cling-ons of misfortune. And that takes extreme forms, because if you start wiki-ing, you'll even find the term Kennedy curse. My Word doesn't even underline this term, says enough. How exactly does the curse over this family work? Well, like this.

In the Kennedy family, many young people lost their lives. I also blinked my eyes a bit when I saw the series of misery pass by on the historical sites. Hello, guys. How bad can you get? Not one, but two plane crashes. A baby Kennedy who dies. Two murders. The theory is that the Kennedys lived more recklessly due to wealth, but also because of all the family members to whom misfortune knocked on the door. And yet the conspiracy theories are food for thought. These are the tragedies of the Kennedy family.
