Wow, that's a lot of money. How come no squawking about that waste of funds that could be better used to serve the underserved?


Actually, I was pretty surprised to learn that his library was quite candid about the whole affair and (bogus)impeachment.

As long as we're being partisan, though, I wonder how much about Iran-Contra is mentioned in Reagan's Library? Really, I don't know. Anyone have any detail on this?

Actually, truth be told, I'm not being terribly partisan at all because I'm neither a D or R.

Could it be that a political "spectrum" doesn't really exist in the US (or Canada for that matter)? Could it be that the mainstream media's real roll in society is to try to pit Republicans vs Democrats and make them argue about trivial issues so that the mainstream public feel safe that they live in a democratic society? Could it be that the media's real roll is to try maintain an illusion of a two party system where each party represents opposite ends of some arbitrary politcal "spectrum" to which we all have access? Could it be that we actually live in a politcal oligarchy where rule is maintained by a select few and the majority of the public are placated into thinking that the political fringe they are contented to participate in makes their system of government superior to "non-democratic" states?
