reagan's presidency is one slice of history that i am not comfortable with, so i won't be going to the capitol to pay my respects. someone asked me today if i wanted to walk over there, not because they supported him, but because it's "history".
if it were carter ( i agree with you ebrown), or clinton, i would seriously consider going.
if it were Ray Charles, i would definitely go.
I agree with CoastalRat. I would not stand in line for anybody. I think that the last time that I stood in line was to see Eddie Fisher at the Paramount Theatre in Manhattan, when I was 14. For those of you who are scratching your heads, and thinking, "Who the hell is Eddie Fisher?", you can figure that it was a long, long time ago!
Doglover thank you for your signature line. It says it all about Ronald Reagan and why we all loved him. I hate standing in line more than any of you I think, but I would have stood in line for him.
