Watching the American politics from a very distant colony of the American
empire raises some intriguing thoughts: Is this strange old man the best
choice as a leader of the free world? When I see him talk on TV about
international affairs, drugs, space programs or whatever I do not know
whether to laugh or cry - to laugh because it is ridicilous, to cry because
his appearence indicates that some PR/marketing has come to the conclusion
that this kind of s--t (stuff) is what most Americans prefer. Some of his
arguments are so low-level that even the most demagogic Israeli politician
will not use such.

To my opinion the Reagan period will prove within a few years to be one of
the worst of late american history, regardless of the current euphoria. You
*cannot* cheat ALL the people ALL the time.

p.s.

About the drugs: Reagan is not a good advertisement for the mental ability
and productivity of non-drug-users.
