the funeral said something about, i guess, says something about us to other nations.
i forget who said this, but it was some talkshow guy, that they felt sorry for carter and ford because they aren't going to get this.

I agree completely.
There is the mistique built up around Reagan, but damned if I can think of one good thing that he did.
The man was just a talking head in my opinion.
And all this crap about him defeating the Soviets is pure bullshit. They imploded due to their own arrogance and their stupid system of keeping people down. Gorbechev had more to do with ending the cold war than Reagan ever dreamed about in his wildest dreams.
