23. You know another President who wasn't afraid to admit he was wrong

You know another president who wasn't afraid to admit they were wrong and try something else? It was FDR. Thank you Hillary, I know where your heart is. I was a nurse during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in the 80's, and Reagan has so many deaths on his soul including that of my brother in law, whom I loved dearly. I knew by that time that we were dealing with something that was being transmitted via blood or fluids, and felt helpless as I would give blood products to my patients, including young people receiving Factor8 because of hemophilia. I watched as other nurses would refuse to take care of AIDS patients for the irrational fear of it being transmitted by just touching someone with the disease. What a horrible, awful, desperate time, and we had a government that was non-cooperative to the fullest and cost thousands of people their lives. I post this in memory of my brother Ron, I love you.
