I've been fascinated with the assasination since I was 15. Over the summer, I was reading some books on it, and it reignited my interest.

Very goth!! 
I loved the RED DWARF episode where they take a disgraced Kennedy from an alternate reality back in time to assasinate himself 
I had absolutely nothing to do with it...
On a serious note, I think there's a kernal of truth to the conspiracy theories, but only slight. It's a mind-blowing thing to lose a president to assassination (well, maybe not the current prez...now I'm going to jail) and to think that one man with one gun and three bullets could change the course of American history is too much for most people. It's in a league with the "other Shakespeare" theory where people believe that old Bill couldn't have possibly have written all those plays without it being Francis Bacon in disguise or whatever. 
But the fact is, sometimes history is that cut-and-dry 
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to it than just Oswald. After all, how does a former Marine not only enter Russia, but live there for a few months or a year and then leave, and there not be any sort of questions about how he managed to do so without being grilled by the KGB and the FBI? Was he a patsy, a "Manchurian candidate", or the legit killer left out to dry by higher powers? It's hard to tell, and there are no end of speculations along those and other lines. 
So did he do it? Most likely, but the degree to which he was involved is up for grabs

Let me amend that with this photo, then :p
Hint: subtle humor 
I thought that the CIA files were supposed to be opened about now to reveal all.I can't believe to this day that no inquiry has ridiculed the theory of one man,a rifle and three magic bullets which defy the laws of physics.Mind you,if you're talking about magic shots,CIA must have watched me play pool!

The majority were opened in 1966. Virtually all of them have been opened since.

I thought that as well, but the single bullet theory actually makes perfect sense. It has been misrepresented by conspiracy authors over the years, but this page should help.

That was a classic.

love that episode too.
the history channel here in the U.S. air from time to time a 7 part Documentary Called "the Men who Killed Kennedy" it investigates different theories and is very interesting and if i remember correctly they even interview an assassin that is is a french prison who claims he is one of the gunmen and that there were like 4 shooters, one in the sewer shooting up and Supposedly that is supported by evidence, i havent seen it in a while so i may be coming on soon

thanks for bursting my bubble
What about the nitrate tests done on Oswald showing that he hadn't fired a gun on the day in question. And the evidence from a Policeman's radio left on when the shooting took place suggesting there were at least four shots fired.
The one thing that undermines the conspiracy theories is the fact that there's so many of them.
Conclusive proof of the impossibility of time travel is exemplified in the existence of Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Nixon, and the Osmonds. Einstein would have offed them before their balls dropped, nevermind Donny Osmond.
It was Oswald as a sleeper agent along with a second gunman in the grassy knoll serving as ward for Oswald. They were tied to the Mafia which therein had ties to the Freemasons and the French connection of heroin rings. Heroin being an opiate extract from a breed of poppy imported to Earth by Venusian clone ships 1950, it was therefore High Lord Shaggis Vesicle IV who ordered the death of JFK by proxy of the French mafia. When Oswald's mindcontrol device failed after his capture, undercover Venusian fixer Jack Ruby was contracted to off him. However, Venusians are not properly acclimitized to the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere of Earth, and Ruby quickly died in custody soon afterward, tying up any loose ends. The Warren Commission were, in fact, not Venusians, but Mooninite information warfare mercenaries hired by not the Venusians, but the White House to cover up any possible evidence that could expose the existence of extraterrestrials to the public.

Nitrate tests are very unreliable. This page should help explain it. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/factoid2.htm

That evidence has been proven to be taken one minute after the shooting.
