I am sad to hear of the passing of Ronald Reagan. His presidency is one that transformed America, though I think a lot of influence he had has been lost due to a resurgence of political correctness in the last twelve years. We would be wise to reconsider the wisdom and legacy of this man.
I'm starting to write a post on how his presidency impacted my life, but it's rapidly turning into a autobiography, and I'm not sure I want to post that. I want it to be more about him than me. Let me just say quickly for now that my very first vote as an American citizen was for him in 1980 when I just recently graduated from college, but I didn't vote for another Republican presidential candidate until 2000. I didn't recognize Reagan's wisdom until after his presidency. I had to consider the views of the other side for about twenty years. I'll have to expand on those thoughts later. My sister, Glenda, has been visiting us this weekend, and I've got to get her on a train to New York this morning.
