Ron, I have noticed that some of the posters--not just at this topic--attack other posters as being, in essence, illiterate, and therefore not credible in their opinions because of making simple spelling errors and such in haste. When I read your post, I missed your minor errors, and actually felt sad that you felt the need to correct it defensively. Now I have re-read that posting, and understand better.

As to the content, you make some interesting points that I haven't previously thought about, and on first blush probably disagree with most. I definitely disagree about high inflation being Pres. Reagan's fault; economies don't turn on a dime--if you will excuse the pun.

Pres. Carter did a well in brokering the Israel/Egypt treaty. In fact, it is probably the only good thing he did, imnsoh opinion, during his term in office.
