I've Always been rather So-So / Neutral about Him Personally, -I Click with the First President Bush, Scowcroft, the Shah, Condi Rice, Good Ole Jerry Ford, Rumsfield, Sadat, Kissinger, -Among Others. Even Dukakis, -*Personally*! Ron though has Not been One of Them, -Though Not Disliked either! While I've Quite Ardently Identified with Him Politically, -a Personal Clicking though, -in Many Respects, is Not there! And that's No Bad Reflection or Anything upon Ron! Steer Clear from Politics now, Scotto!
A Few Days Ago, -I had the Inspired Idea, -that the Next Thing we Need to Do is to Name an Aircraft Carrier After Him! Then I Got Reminded while Watching a News Broadcast, -that thats Already Been Done! Good and Great!
Of course the Acting and Entertainment World, -Has their Own Fond Regard and Reminiscene of Him, -Not Only the Public or Political Ones. Though Respectable there in the Entertainment One, -if Not a Giant as he was Elsewhere, -He Still Had a Foot and Standing There too. (If Largely in an Earlier Time).
I've heard some Talk on the Airwaves about an Era Having Passed and the Like! That we Need Him now, and No Longer Have Him. *No!*, -in the Sense that His Spirit and Values, and Shining Example, -Lives On! We Have his Life to Remember and Celebrate! We're *Not* Adrift or Anything, -We've Got Quite an Anchor, Sail, Wheel, and Rudder in Him! Though All may Not Agree with All of his Politics, -Most All of Us Acknowledge Substantial Good Points in Him! This we Can and Should Continue to Take Along as our Guide! (One of our Guides Anyway!). And Though No Longer with Us, -He Too is Still Around Somewhere! The Reagan Baton's now been Passed On to Us! / U.S.! Lets So Take it Up, and Carry It with U.S.!
In this Spot Belongs a Thought which has Momentarily Escaped me! Don't Know if It'll be Back. Chances are Good though. If so, -I'll Try to Mention.
Isn't it Great to now be Able to once again See and Hear so Many of Reagan's Great Speeches, Appearances, Etc! At Least for Those Personally or Politically Identifying with Him. But I'm Sure This Applies in Large Measure!, -Even for Many of Those who Honestly Don't so Like or Identify with Him!
And While our Flag Must sometimes Fly at Half Staff, -It Never Comes Down! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ScottRezaLogan[/email]
