The only thing that I can say about the AIDS- related matter in regards to President Reagan not saying much about it until twenty+ thousand people had died from it; not making excuses for the man, but AIDS was new for all of us in general at the time.  How would any of us reacted over it?  You can try and say now after the fact being today that the disease and word is common nature among us, but the truth be known, we all (for the most part) were ignorant to the entire situation.

Lastly - If you want to diss the President or anyone for that matter, why the childish continual use of profanity?  Kent, I respect your likes of music for the most part (ie Trevor Rabin) but to say that you "hate the f------ guy" really proves that this board at times is no different than the Yahoo! garbage boards.  But I love this board and loathe the Yahoo!- related verbatim boards.
