It's mourning in America.

[Cascadian]

While I can appreciate the fact some of you are showing some restraint in your criticism of the now-late former president Reagan but cannot agree whith heaping praise over a man who was until recently the worst president this country had.

A man who was instrumental in hurting mental patients by closing their facilities. A man who fired air traffic controllers. A man who helped Saddam Hussein by giving him weapons of mass destruction. A man who widened the gap of the rich and the poor. A man who was instrumental in bringing the religious right into the political fold.A man who ignored the AIDS crisis. A man who actually negotiated with terrorists and stirred up civil wars in Central America.

No I will not join the mourning throngs. He was a man who deserves no worthy acknowledgement of respect.
