Perhaps it is my memory that is bad, Mark, but as I recall, he has always 
said those things about the "USSR", the "Soviets" or some other general
political group.  I repeat, calling the man a liar will cause a war.  If
you disagree, I will expect to see your check in the mail tomorrow.  Hey,
how is this for a novel political solution?  We meet between the buildings
here at *HIGH NOON* and settle this debate with our fists?  [For those not
in the know, Mark and I have never met--we just work for the same company.]

Meadow party forever!!!  Seriously, though, if Reagan is all that dangerous,
why have we lived through his first term?  I seem to recall these same
critisisms before the last election.  If he truely wanted war we would
have had it by now.  Now, consider the GOP hierarchy.  They would *NEVER*
allow a crazy man to be elected, it would be bad for the party image.
Deity, I wish Anderson was running again!

And now, for something completely different:
