Thank you for your comments. You said exactly what I
was thinking.

I hope there is a rebirth of the ideals and strength of Ronald Reagan. I see a lot of young people walking through the dome. I hope they will ask a lot of questions about Ronald Reagan. I am thankful for the news coverage, as I cannot be there in person.

Ronald Reagan did so much for humanity as well as lifting the American Spirit. You know you feel it when you feel like something overwhelming is in your heart about to escape and you want to shout to the whole world.

With the rest of the world making the word "American" seem dirty or disgusting, Ronald Reagan, even in death, is uplifting us up again to be untouchable in the true American Spirit.

God bless Ronald Reagan. He has earned a place in history, and heaven. People 100 years from now will ask about him.

For the idiots opening their mouth saying bad things, they have earned places in hell. Their behavior is shameful, and we will all remember. More than that, God will remember. He is the final judge, and jury.

There was an interesting book some years ago called Generations, an historian's theory that there are cycles in succeeding generations in America that tend to repeat--cynicism/lost, parentally ignored/silent but tending to turn to peers for community effort and support, idealistic--I really don't remember them well.

The book mentioned that idealistic generations are often inspired by a "gray eminence"--a figure from a great grandfather generation that represented their cycle in the turning of this historical wheel. These last couple of days I've been wondering if Ronald Reagan will turn out to be that "gray eminence" for a new, young generation now forming it's destiny.

The theory is probably half truth and half hokum, but it did spawn the term "Generation X". The one coming of age now I think of as the Parentless Generation, and their defining moment will be 9/11.

God truly blessed us with President Ronald Reagan. And I believe he has also blessed us with someone who cannot completely fill the shoes, but is much like him--President George W. Bush, who gave a wonderful eulogy today to honor President Reagan.
