Calling Ronnie


I'm not part of that Reagan-Was-God crowd, but he had an amazing ability to see fundamental wrongs that everyone had got used to - or figured would never change -  and say they were still wrong.  Like the Soviet Union.  Like marginal tax rates of 80 percent.  Like nuclear war, as a matter of fact.

No one around with that kind of vision.  I don't know what's fundamentally wrong that everyone accepts - perhaps China? - but I know that 20 years from now, whatever it is, it will then seem obvious.
