Martin, with all due respect, and I too am sad at his or anyone else's passing, but Reagan was horrible for this country. I won't belabor it, but think about The Iran Contra Mess, the October Surprise (where he worked with the Iranians to keep the hostages until after the election), Reaganomics (sure, it put more money in some pockets, but as soon as he left office people realized he stole from the future to pay for today), ignoring AIDS for years when we could have contained it because it was only killing gays and the fact that they've caught him on tape while president with Nancy feeding him his lines. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
