Well, if it was not for Reagan, there never would have been that excellent punk compilation-"Let Them Eat Jellybeans". So give him some credit.

Enough hatred. A Man Died. He didn't create AID's. He was an old man with old beliefs. He couldn't fathom what "gay" is, and made comments based on his day. Geez he made bedtime for bonzo not bedtime for kenny my secret love.

I wasn't alive when Reagan was president but from what i hear i don't think he was a good president at all and he used his charm to weezle his way out of un-favorable situations.

As an Australian, I can only comment second-hand on Ronald Reagan. But I have to say that I think the World owes him and Mrs Thatcher a great debt for winning the Cold War.

Maybe now's the appropriate time to play LAX's "Ronnie's Song".

Considering both parties:
1. have their hands dirty
2. trade on fear, lies and propaganda
3. probably have no idea who Visage is?

...how about a moratorium on all things political here?

..unless of course, Adam Ant runs for governor somewhere.
