@OmSigDAVID,
Gracie asked you some questions that you are studiously avoiding, Om. I wonder why.
You're delusional, Om, seriously delusional, first, to think that an idiot like Ronald Reagan [not at all surprising that you like him] had anything to do with the changes in the Soviet Union.
Wouldn't it be nice if the US stopped its hideous system of slavery, stealing the wealth from other nations, keeping those populations subjugated under brutal right wing dictators or tortured and murdered.
I told you that I'm quite conservative. I just don't embrace the stupidity that conservatives like you, which you've aptly illustrated in this post, embrace.
