<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1101142, member: 23626&quot;]I think that&#039;s a good part of the problems we face today is the rewriting of recent history. Presidents such as Reagan are lauded for his &quot;conservative&quot; ideology. But it&#039;s forgotten how his administration brought illegal drugs to our inner cities to finance the illegal arms deals to countries we were supposed to have embargos against. His administration also did much to control our ownership of guns after Brady was shot. The attempt to eliminate unions which thusly deprived millions of retirement and health care benefits contributed greatly to the national health care problem today.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Truthfully, I guess you can only understand it from the &quot;bottom&quot; level if you lived through it. The oil fiasco, first gulf war for oil. Hunts and the silver. etc. Changes in tax laws that moved more tax dollars to a few at the top. Payments to industries to move operations overseas as part of our foreign aid programs. Seances, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can say, I have lived through the excitement of Viet Nam, Tet Offensive, Cuban Missile Crisis, Oil Embargo, Continuous hot and cold war over oil in the mideast, NAFTA, Ollie North, etc. It&#039;s been quite a ride. lol</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
