I saw the thread title on the Forums' front-page summary: "Ronald Reagan dead at..." and rather hoped the completion of the sentence would be "... last" - so I think you can guess how I feel about it. During the '80 election the public school I went to had a minor riot between supporters of Carter and Reagan. I have no idea why, any more than I have any idea why I was in the Carter camp, really. It was all good fun at the time. 8)

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
