Ronald Reagan is dead.

Wow, that's a man who played a big part in my growing up. I was an adamant anti-Reaganite. I even owned a t-shirt which said 'I hate Reagan'. Despite his many flawed policies and bumbling that took place during his two terms, I do believe that he deserves credit for steering the US through the Cold War and dealing with a real threat in a dangerous time. I believe that he also was a truly patriotic individual who saw great value in public service. However, our nation is not well served by a steward who does not have his hands on the wheel. The Iran/Contra affair was the origin of plausible deniability and could have had far worse consequences had the Oliver North gang not been up-ended. Rest in Peace Ronald Reagan...

Charlie Rose interviews Thomas Friedman

Last night I watched a great Charlie Rose interview, with the always impressive Thomas Friedman. They started out talking outsourcing to India, which is another important and fascinating topic and then moved into the Iraq situation, in which Friedman expresses his desire for a change of 'ideas' in the middle east achieved through regime change in Iraq and installing democracy. The most fascinating part of the interview though, was the topic of Friedman's next book entitled something like 'The World is Flat', in which he addresses the issue of India and China's meteoric rise in the past five years and the US inability to ensure our competitiveness and place in the world going forward. This is a very important topic and one which should be at the forefront of the presidential political debate. Thinkmedia

FOUND Magazine

I love Found Magazine Online. FOUND Magazine Folks post notes and photos they find, which are discarded. The comments which accompany many of the found items are as poignant as the items themselves.
