I'm feeling like a loser because I don't talk about things I do in LJ - for the most part I just comment on politics and stuff you can see sitting in the basement of your mom's house because YOU'RE A LOSER WITH NO LIFE!!!

That aside, good fucking god what is the deal about Reagan? An old man dies, so what? A president who to this day - despite the Bush adminstration - had more felony convictions of his cabinet members than any US president! Yay! He sold arms for hostages - hostages who were treated better than prisoners of war we beat today! Yay! He tripled the federal deficit, TRIPLED THE DEFICIT! We're still paying for the damage he caused!

Now, some good things did happen in his years - though mostly things done by CARTER that he just inherited. Guess who STARTED the mideast peace process and got Egypt to negotiate - something thought impossible to even discuss? Even after leaving office, Carter did habitat for humanity and won international acclaim including a nobel prize...do you think they'll name 50 things after him, talk about putting him on money, or take a week off for him?

Reagan on money - you've got to be fucking kiddding. Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson...Reagan. Sure. Might as well add a Hilton sister.

i don't do a lot of "event wrap up" type posts either, who wants to know what I do every weekend. I'd rather write about social stuff or whats in my head.

and i'm a bit sick of the gipper mania myself.

As long as they replace Andrew Jackson, with Reagan, I don't think it matters. They were both white guys who disgregarded the Constitution and were responsible for the deaths of thousands.

I think we'll find more and more of those as history is able to more accurately record more data. The question came up recently of why our torture methods were getting so much press - and one possible answer was that we now have the rapid dissemination of information that makes the conspiracy much more difficult.

Funny, it's journals like yours that make me feel like a loser for posting what I'm doing and very little about what I'm thinking. I don't generally follow politics. I don't do much soul-searching. But I take photos of pandas!
