I'd like to learn Pres Reagan's thoughts on the Waco massacre in 93. Something in my gut tells me he would have been furious with law enforcement killing American women and children under any circumstance.

It might be just me, but I'm thinking today's law enforcement is not the same group Pres Reagan knew. They're not the same kind of fellas I grew up knowing. I say "fellas" because there were no women then...

My remembrance of law enforcement in my youth reflects upon men who were human beings who understood the common flaws of human beings. Probably somewhat similar to Pres. Reagans experience in youth and beyond...good people.

But today's law enforcement has little resemblance to those men of a past time. Since today's law enforcement takes on a gestapo like posture wearing combat fatigues while cruising our streets with dogs. Nothing close to what I knew or Pres. Reagan knew.

Of course, today's firemen, like firemen of our past remain brave and courageous beyond measure.

Still, if this is all true regarding these last 90 miniutes, then the last 90 minutes should have been reserved for surviving veterans of America's wars.

Much more fitting in my opinion.
