When I heard of Ronald Reagan's passing, it saddened me slightly because I was barely involved in anything the president did. I had my own problems, what would grieving over someone I barely knew do?

Then today as I watching TV, a news flash came on (text at the bottom) telling of Ray Charles dying today. This saddened me a lot more, because he is among the piano players of today which I idolize.
Him, Billy Joel, Sir Elton John, and BY ALL MEANS the late John Lennon even inspired my musical interest.

Ray Charles Died! really?
Why not be saddened when someone dies? Ronald Regan was a great man that influenced many. He was one of our greatest presidents, although wasn't president during a war. did you know that he got shot in an assasination atempt right trough his chest? he got in his motercade car, was rushed to the nearest hospital, got out of his car, made sure all the buttons on his shirt were fine, checked to see if he looked perfect, then collasped in front of the hospital. He almost died. When his wife came in to check on him, he said, half-dead, "Honey I forgot to duck". He came out a week later, fine.

Bratty - Don;t get me wrong, I believe Ronald Reagan made a lot of progress on certain things, it's just that Ray Charles death saddened me more because of my interest in piano playing.

Zombie..... I'm not trying to be an ***hole here, but please try to have some respect for the dead.

Ray Charles set the standard on playing the piano even with being blind since age 7. He's put a hell of a front on blues, jazz, R&B, and even made his own style basically with his music. Remember "We are the world"? How about "I got a woman"? He was a legend in music.

"He was one of our greatest presidents, although wasn't president during a war"

And doesn't the Cold War counts? Although it wasn't a shooting war it was one. And, yeah, Reagan really did alot for the relationshpis between the USA and the USSR. And alot for the condition of the poor in the States. I don't really care, anyway, since I'm not an american resident.
Posted 20 years ago2004-06-11 15:20:18 UTC Post #32424
the Cold War wasn't really a war, or at least I don't consider it one since no one declared war on anyone.

ZL, be nice. Don't talk that way about the recently deceast, or anyone for that matter.

Pepper, yea I do! I've been playing for 5 years, and I'm good. Started playing some CDB. Fun.

Whatever.
I've never been good at respecting people, alive nor dead. Bad growing up I guess.
Especially people who exist some thousands of miles away which probably dont even exist.
America is just an illusion, a trick of the mind.

lol, I live in a trick of the mind.

you read 1984 too many time ZL. George Orwell was only kidding. He hated communists and socialists, what can I say.

Well, I'm sorry to mash-up the scene here, but Reagan was definately not a nice person whom I shall regret his loss.

This is a scene at Bohemian Grove in 1957. The speaker is Glenn Seaborg, the discoverer of plutonium, and either side are a then B-movie actor Ronald Reagan and the career ploitician, Richard Nixon. Both of these members of this elite ritual sacrifice 'club' went on to become President of the United States. Presidents are not elected, but selected.

lol, you guys have the wierdest conspiresy theories. Here in America, we vote for eho we want, or there wouldn't be all these fights over repubs and Demos. Each party chooses who they want to run against the member of the other party, and also the 3rd parties which only won once. Regan and Nixon both ran for the republican party and probably knew each other since they, well, were in the same party. ANd there is no conspericy about which party wins, since that looser Bill Clinton Jumped in, also hurting the image of the president like Nixon and JFK did, JFK cause he likes the ladies.

Zombie, it is not worth trying to convince people that their world around them is merely an illusion. People help the illuminati progress their regime by simply laughing off anything that might destroy their glorified image of reality.

Fear is the greatest attribute of the illuminati.

We fear what other people think of us, therefore we are in the perfect condition to accect the so-called 'norm'.

When we are educated at a young age, our teachers (who often are not even aware of what they are doing) teach us the version of reality we call the 'norm'. If we are not within the boundries of that 'norm' we might expect severe ridicule for being a 'lost sheep'.

We rely on the media to tell us the 'official' line of reality. Because, ask yourself this question: what else might we rely on?

Why is there no conspiracy?
Why are there no conspiracies?
What the heck is a conspiracy?

A conspiracy is generally the bit of information they dont want us to know, or find out. Conspiracy theorists* are generally ridiculed for telling the truth because they are upsetting the equalibrium of the conditioned norm.

I will say it again, and again until it is finally understood.

"Presidents are not elected by ballot but selected by bloodline."

*Generally speaking. However, it can be said that it is not the case for some conspiracy theorists who are infact working for the illuminati agenda by supplying disinformation to the masses and leading their curiosity astray.
