the energy of reagan dying yesterday, wow it was something an awfully powewrful. i think i better understand the outcry and i can so respect it, because hey, i too feel this. though was tough the hate, i dont go there. or the caring of death, i dont have a fear of death, in sense. not a big deal to me, part of life

once again, and even more clearly we were asked to honor an illusion create by the repugs. those wanting to manipulate us. people havent critiqued reagan for the last decade, cause after all he had a horrible disease, yet over that decade we watched the story being told changed of who the man was, and what he created.

we were being asked to honor a man that wasnt true

as we are being told to honor bushie, as a honest straight shootin kinda guy. we know better. what an insult, lol to look me in the eyes and tell me bush is an honest man a christian. hey that is your story, i dont buy it. that is your lie to tell, not for me to buy.

i think a lot of the reaction yesterday was to say loudly, dont feed me this crap.............i know better

i think now we will have opportunity to speak out on reagan policy, that we didnt do because he was sick

i think this death will bring it up for conversation and show a link to bushie and repugs

i think, this death at this time, is another gift. to bring awareness to people

but then i trust in the divine, if walking aware, we are able to do

2. just for clarification, clinton isnt my hero
a lot of things i liked what clinton did, a lot of things i did not. nafta with how it was set up just didnt econimically make sense to an equality with the working class in u.s.

that is just a big one i had issue with clinton.

but yes, clinton hands downa better president than reagan. that is for sure. others have talked and i was 18 on in reagans presidency. was thinking about being a republican, thru out his administration and watching and learning, i have voted dems, always. so guess he made me a dem, like others
