4. Father of homelessness
Homelessness is slow death by exposure to the elements. The ancients used that as a method of execution, a slow method worse than the quick ones.

We are doing this in the middle of our cities, broad daylight.

Anyone calculate the toll so far?

10. Just to play devil's advocate...
...wasn't there a homeless problem before Reagan? Just became noticed by the media after he took office???

Correct me if I'm wrong, please...I'm not defending him...

13. Reagan emptied the mental hospitals into the streets.
It was called "de-institutionalization."

He took away many veterans rights to health care through the VA.

I would say he was very largely responsible for the homelessness of the eighties.

The person before him who was responsible was Hoover.

I believe Meese, who was in his cabinet, said that people were homeless because they wanted to be, and that many of the stories about homelessness were anecdotal.

He messed around with Social Security, too, so that many disabled lost their benefits.

I would say he bears quite a bit of responsibility for modern day homelessness.

I don't want this to be a piss on Reagan response, though. Let him have his funeral and his eulogies. And then, let's move on.

7. Donald Rumsfelds response..
Is it rape? Probably. He is dead, you can't know the unknowable. Is it wrong? Sure, but how can you explain the unexplainable?

9. Check this out Lou......
This is the end of the innocence
O’ beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They’re beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And was away this sin
We’ll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end

14. Hmlessness and RR: he caused massive upsurge
I have seen comments by the charities, saying "we thought in the early eighties, this hmlss problem would be a temporary thing."

From that, i inferr that hmlssnss was massively upticked by RR.

I gather the US has always had some hmlssness. It "keeps wages low", as the wage ladder links every pay level to the lowest one. And hmlss scares us out of striking.

But RR massively upticked the hmlss.

Hmlss sites are not geared to presenting scholarly stats on it. Anyone know of such a stat site?

16. KAL 007
911 was a joke after the omnipotenti (evil only) ran the shootdown of KAL 007 past the herd successfully.....
reagan probably knew little or nothing about the shootdown (except that the soviets played the role of the 19 'hijackers' or lee oswald) giggle giggle

We're about to go into a week of saccharine overload on TV. Equal time, says I, for the Opposing Viewpoint.
