Well you finally admitted it, you cannot think. Some of us have known that for a while.

Or perhaps it is that you are just too young and do not recall much about what happened before Reagan was President. The fact that unemployment was creeping ever closer to double digits, as was inflation, not to mention the fact that a majority of people believed that the next five years were going to be worse than the previous five years.

One man, deemed by many to be an amiable dunce, disproved all that. While Carter and his liberal cohorts were talking about restraints, Reagan was saying lets go. Like it or not, interest rates went down, unemployment fell, inflation fell and suddenly people actually beleived that our best days were still ahead. The were no waiting in line to get gas, no President lecturing us about restrain and our crisis of confidence. Instead we said We Number 1 and have not looked back since.

The 1970's brought us 8 tracks and cassette tapes, the next generation of music from LPs. Today we have CDs and MP3s. 20 years to develop the new generation of music compared to the near 50 to come up with 8 tracks and cassettes.
