Poet and Rogers:

<I feel a good deal of sympathy for Reagan's condition>

Your entitled. I only feel for Humans when they in turn feel for Humanity. Feeling, like life, is a two way street. Reagan hated the common man. He had no feeling. Of course, one can have feelings for the moon, stars, sea and all the other divinities of Nature. But they have no feelings for you when you suffer. Nature is amoral.

<I don't think any of his policies could really be described as his.>

Sorry, I'm a voluntarist. Reagan was responsible. A human being is nothing more than a series of undertakings, the sum, the organization, the ensemble of the relationships which make up these undertakings.

<I find yours abhorrent>

There is no feeling other than one which manifests itself in a person's feeling. Outside of that there is no feeling. Reagan was as cold as ice. He didn't feel for Humanity. Why feel for him?

To be sure, there are those who continue to love or feel for a person when that person does not love or feel for them. I'm not one of those people. For me, there is really no love other than one which manifests itself in love. There is no genius other than which is expressed in works of art.

Reality alone is what counts for me. What Reagan may have dreamt, expected, and hoped, warrants no more than to define him as a disappointed dream, a miscarried hope, and a vain expectation.

In my world, I choose to think and feel. But I also choose what is worthy to think and feel about.

I am so happy that the world is not full of Ronald Reagan's.
