Just Imagine

For five days, for almost every hour of each day, and for at least two days more, the news has been replaced with nothing but Reagan. And the memories are all the good ones, with little mention about his policies in central America that results in so many deaths, his patronage of Saddam Hussein at a time when Saddam committed some of his worst atrocities (and the very ones BushCo used as an excuse to attack Iraq), his patronage of Noriega, his ignorange of AIDS until it grew into an epidemic... and that's just the start.

But just imagine if the energy being used right now to dig up and repeat this one-sided presentaton had been used to understand the 2000 Election, the real facts behind 9/11, analyzing why BushCo fought so hard to curtail any indepth investigation of it, our attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, and more recently, the torture issue.

We might know a LOT more.

But we don't. Instead, we get this crap.
