...dead presidents

now, now, mr. cohen.

while Ronald Reagan was not the best president ev-uh, as some conservatives would have you believe, I think it's clear that whatever one's opinion, it's in poor form to speak so ill of the dead.

actually, it's an interesting non-event as the nation has had lots of time to consider the Reagan legacy without him in the spotlight.

the 80's are a hugely influential time in US history--a time of progress that really set the nation on the course for its current position. there were bad aspects to the 80's as well, I'll admit. the music and hairdo's alone should have to answer to the international fashion criminal court.

nevertheless, whatever one's opinion, it's clear that Reagan served the country well, and should be spoken of kindly.
