Reagan youth

And since I'm in a mood, can I say one ting about the plane crash in Kentucky? Do you think that if the air traffic controllers had a strong union that they could have prevented the FAA from ordering staffing levels in violation of their own safety codes?

Thanks Ronnie. Everytime I think we can total the death count, another 50 or so have to get added to the list.

Oh man, I will totally give you that one.

It's a pretty awful tragedy how the excesses of the 60's left and right basically created today's homeless problem.

(the whole anti-involuntary-commitment thing plus the whole cutting-needed-social-services thing)

but yeah, i'm fine with blaming reagan for that

Fair enough. I also can blame Reagan for growing the (unconstitutional) drug war more than any other president before him...course Bush and Clinton broke his record.

Then there was that BS in south america wherein we had no beezwax....
