Ever since 1980, I've been appalled that most people are UNABLE to see that Reagan is NOT like other politicians. "Skilled, manipulative, controlled liars" do NOT deny their lies when they're busted; they make up new lies to explain the exposed ones. And yet, just recently, the White House denied that Reagan called the press "sons of bitches" even though the press has this on tape! This denial of the truth is not skilled or controlled; it is complacent in its opinion of the public as a gullible, unquestioning mass. It is a despicable attempt to twist people's perception of reality. It also makes SOME of us doubt anything we hear coming from the White House. I admit I have an obsessive hatred of Reagan. He represents the worst kind of oppression - the oppression of thought. The fact that he is in office demonstrates the success of 1984-like mind control. When the election returns were coming in in 1980, there was a news story about creationism. A boy was complaining that his school was teaching evolution. A reporter asked him, "Do you believe that man evolved from apes?" I thought to myself, "Do you believe Ronald Reagan is president?" :-) Think about it. Right on, Tim! ihnp4!iham1!krista P.S. It's embarrassing to admit to being from Illinois. I confess I did not vote. Now we've got Larouchian candidates. From now on I'd better pay more attention to state and local events. I hate politics, but these crazy or unscrupulous people will never let us rest. -- ihnp4!iham1!krista oh,i'llgetflamedtheni'llcryoh,dear
