I was a little shocked when i heard that Ronald Reagan died today. I didn't even know that his health had turned for the worse (I did know about he Alzheimer's). I guess I have been too busy making out with my new female acquaintance to pay attention to current events.
I'm reading lots of cold hearted, brutish things on the internet about this. Lots of people celebrating the man's death. Mostly from those young people whose entrance into politics has been the "bush hater" phenomenon. They probably couldn't tell you when Reagan was president two weeks ago but since the news is saying that he was a Republican then he must be worthy of their venom.
My most vivid memory of President Reagan was the assassination attempt. More specifically I remember writing him a letter while he was in the hospital. It was on orange construction paper and in green crayon. I got the address to send it to from my teacher but I don't know if my parents really sent the letter. I'd like to believe that they did send it and he actually read it.
