Fez's info does not in ANY way mean the Reagan was a bad president - just the opposite. So what if the rich got richer? The poor got richer too. Notice how the poor DIDN'T get richer under those other presidents.

Of course! It's better to just give the lazy people the same money and recognition that the ones who work hard. I am not surprised that the lazy people agree with that police, but at the end that destroys the system. You have two very good samples in the two Germany states and the two Koreas. But as someone said, there are not enough reasons to convince the one that doesn't want to be convinced.
One of the best counters I've ever seen

For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Just because I believe Reagan was guilty of neglecting to react to the AIDS crisis, does not mean that I do not believe in my country.
And I cannot recall the specifics, but there was another, smaller crisis that occured in the early years of AIDS. "And the Band Played On" discussed when a few people died from contaminated Tylenol or asprin, and the federal government carried out an immediate, massive reaction to recall the product, and changed regulations for packaging pills, in a short time.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Yeah, that's why we have those pressure-sealed bottle caps, etc. My dad told me about it.Comment

I don't think Reagan was guilty of neglecting AIDs... just the fact that the entire world was caught off guard.

And yet, only a couple of people died from the contamination.Originally posted by skywalker

So when ONLY hundreds (of ******s) were dying from this new, mysterious "cancer" a reaction from the federal government would not be justified.

You can be gay and conservative -- but you really should read about how Reagan mis-handled the AIDS crisis and then form an opinion.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

The question is did Reagan underestimate the situation? I would have... I will look at other books first, from both sides then form my opinion. At this time from what I know, I will stick by my statement that Reagan was caught off guard by the crisis.Originally posted by MrFun

Just for your information, while Reagan was still governor California, IIRC, there was an anti-gay initiative on the ballot. Everyone expected Reagan to be in favor of the propostion given that he was a "conservative." Reagan surprised most people by coming out strongly against the proposition. As a result, the proposition failed.Originally posted by Fez

I have no idea how Reagan "failed" when AIDS first appeared. However, he was NOT a gay bashing social conservative AFAIK.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment
