My anger & passion in the Reagan years reached near-Weatherman intensity
(without the bombing and breaking shop windows, 'course), esp when it came
to Cent. America. Yeah, Reagan was awful. He was a war criminal. He should
have been impeached and tried at the Hague (along with his cabinet). But he
wasn't -- he retired and slipped into a mental wasteland till the end, and
that's that. I honestly don't feel like celebrating. It seems to me a cheap
buzz. If I want that, I'll drink some Gilbey's gin.
