several positives have come from Ronald Reagan's illness and passing:
1. he raised awareness on Alzheimers, an insidious disease.
2. Nancy Reagan and her children seem to be much closer, which is a good thing. they were estranged for a long time.
3. if you are a federal/bank/postal worker, you have Friday off for the Natl. Day of Mourning.
now we have this whole week to mourn him. unfortunately, that's not working for me and i wish all this coverage would stop (cutting into Y&R really irked me). i didn't support him in my Catholic school's election (Infant Jesus of Prague, 1980)
and i stand by my vote
as a human being his passing is sad but as a liberal, registered Democrat, this coverage is overblown
