Thom, you're beginning to sound like a broken record, blaming everything on Reagan and the Republicans. Most of what you say is correct, but people need to be honest with themselves, and acknowledge that there are factions within the Democrats who would also take us to some extremes that would throw our society out of balance.

There are still people like that in America, who care for the other more than they do themselves; they just don't seem to be in the field of politics very much, sad to say.
