Agreed!

If there were one thing I could give to the world, it would be the
ablity to laugh at itself.  I am awed by the number of problems
we daily face, as individuals, institutions, and governments that
can be traced to persons, alone or together, taking themselves and their
affairs too damn seriously!

If Reagan were in the least bit serious, even subconscously, about
"eliminating" Russia, you can bet he would guard that notion
carefully, nurturing and developing it into an argument that might
be believed.  As it is, his quip, little different from the kind of
joking we all do (someone recently noticed that Chevy Chase made a
very similar remark on SNL) is more realistically a safety valve through
which he released some of his frustration with the Soviets.
