A word to all the "be nice to Reagan" posters:

[Paragon]

It's a message board. On the INTERNET.

It's a playground for the id, and if you've ever had a nasty or compulsive thought, you've got one, too. Does that make it right? No -- but it's the truth.

Perhaps, if instead of anonymous handles, we were all required to post with our name, address, and phone number attached, you might not see such posts. 99% of them would not be made in mixed company.

This sort of thing is not limited to DU (see www.fark.com or any other message board for that matter), and anyone who suggests it is has an agenda to push.

Calm down, and try not to take yourself so seriously. Ronnie had a sense of humor, too -- and may even have himself wished death upon an "evil" Commie or two.
