Sad.
He was a genuine, impassioned
patriot; inspired wordsman; and optimist. Maybe he can help us earthlings better from where he's now gone.

It's like Stalin died or
something...they might as well suspend regular programming & play funeral dirges all day...Dont worry you're not
brainwashed America...go back to sleep...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
It's not that you don't have any class
Met, it's more like you don't have anything at all. I mean what... they preempt your favorite Lizard Cartoon
show?
I just gave you bad Rep for the Stalin thing. Geez!
I'm glad you did and said
something about it, Ash. You saved me the trouble.

You know Met... if this were a
communist board, you would have already been taken out back and shot.... But it's not.... its an American board, so
say whatever you like.... all you doing is highlighting your own lack of character.
Enjoy your opinion and your
right to express it Met.... because it was great men like President Reagan that make it possible to do so.

Make Love not Trash
Kidding
around and trash talking is cool sometimes, but a lot of people want to "spit" on someone because they disagree with
their politics or religion. They belong to opposite political and religious viewpoints, of course. But moreover,
they identify themselves too much with those kinds of limited beliefs, and not enough with what's deeper inside
themselves.
This is self defeating to that deeper part. It's not even just that we're all Americans (mostly
the case here). We're all humans. We're also earthlings! Unless we come from those deeper selves, our unchecked,
surface selves will defeat them. We are literally volunteering for cancer of the soul.
So believing this, I
didn't see a problem praising Reagan; crying about his death; or feeling sentimentally moved in general about human
losses of loved ones; even though I saw many of his policies as destructive and ultimately wrong-headed for
fundamental human purposes. I loved his uplifting humanistic speeches, which were truly gifts to the country and
world. Also the 80's were a different time, when the Soviet threat was truly massive (hundreds of Soviet nuclear
missles aimed all over Europe, etc.) and relatively easy to comprehend. The man truly had some genuine positives
to him, a measure of integrity (Who cares if he smoked pot in the White House?); and many of his worst political
"enemies" (e.g., Tip) saw that clearly. Plus, he just died. Deaths of fellow earthlings present easy opportunities
for our best, deepest selves to emerge. It's a wide open look at the basket from 10 feet in this respect, or should
I say casket?
As examples of self defeat, if someone with liberal views
wants to implement values of compassion, they risk muddying up their own minds and weakening fundamental projects
when indulging in their hate or disrepect (we all feel these things); just as those with conservative views
do when so indulging, reinforcing the very stereotypes that most have crippled themselves and their projects
politically.
The mutal disrespect here is therefore suggestive of resignation and admission of defeat on both
sides.

I read through your post twice Doc
and I really have no idea what you were trying to say. It's possible that some of what you wrote was aimed at me.
Maybe all of it. I don't know. I don't care. My reply to Met had nothing to do with his politics. It had to do
with his stupidity, his brainless insensitivity and his piss-ant whining because his TV programing got interrupted.
Simple as that Doc. No F'ing politics involved at all.
I read the conversation as a
whole and wrote for everybody. Nothing personal. Honest! I didn't look at names before saying what seemingly needed
to be said here, as clearly as I could (I'm too lazy to edit any more to make it make more sense.). I didn't
remember exactly who said which thing. It was, and is up to you whether it applies to you. Sounds like you decided
it doesn't. Cool by me!

Nothing needed to be said
except that Met was an insensitive ass. There was nothing political in what he wrote. Just stupidity!
I admire Ron and Nancy’s
relationship.
They’re an inspiration because they were inseparable.
That what I call devotion, all those
years together with all the pressures and temptation that goes with living in the spot light but they held it
together.
Today they took the once proud institute of marriage and turned it into a %%^^ing reality game
show.
The sad part is that now that Ron is gone Nancy wont be far behind because of the devotion and
love.
A true inspiration in my opinion.

Thought this was an interesting
cartoon...it's a little hard to read but just click on it...Guess I'm not the only one with a contrary
opinon...(shocked emoticon from the old forum)
Look, metro. On the night
Ronzo got elected for the first time, I drank myself into a crying jag. I was that unhappy about it. I totally
detested the man and everything he was trying to do. Time passed. I still don't agree with a lot of what he did.
But I believe he was an honest man and he set the gold standard for maintaining a sense of dignity in the office.
When George Washington died, the mourning went on for 8 months, and there was a nationwide shortage of black fabric
that took nearly a year to clear up. So I think you'll probably survive a single weekend of having the boob tube
interrupted. Turn it off. You might actually use the break to think for yourself instead being told what your
reality is and what your values should be 24/7. You might even like it. Your cartoon is in at least as bad taste as
your first crack. Let it go, dude. He's gone.
I didn't see any politics in your
first post Met just your tiny lizard mind at work again. You and the Doc have managed to swing the whole Thread
around now though. Congrats guys! Could this be a Lizard People conspiracy? Whatever. I ain't going there with
either of you! You go ahead and flame the dead all you want Met. A truly class act would have at least waited until
some dirt hit the coffin first but then you were pretty upset about your TV being interrupted. I must say that as
upset as you were I'm kinda surprised to see you here tonight. Now that programing is back to normal I would have
thought you'd be back watching your Favorite Lizard People Cartoon show.
