Reply #63: I agree with you about leaving this alone

but... what do you mean "when the freepers try to turn him into
St. Ronnie"? They have been doing that for years now. Reagans
name is being glued onto just about anything that the feds build,
preserve, occupy or float. There is a carrier, an airport, a huge
federal office building (which I find ironic to the extreme), and
I'm sure some sort of national park or preserve. Now they want
to add his image to money, add a bust of him at Mt. Rushmore, place
a memorial to him somewhere on or near the Mall. If they could,
they'd probably rename a state after him...

We should fight the deification with phrases like "well, not enough
time has passed to properly place him with other great Americans"
and "lets let history judge him as both a President and an American"
and "if we name all of these things after him, it will tend to
cheapen his name and message".
