Nancy Reagan, the former actress who was fiercely protective of husband Ronald Reagan through a Hollywood career, eight years in the White House, an assassination attempt and her husband's Alzheimer's disease, died on Sunday at age 94.

The cause of death was congestive heart failure, said a spokeswoman for the Reagan presidential library. She died at her Los Angeles home.

"She is once again with the man she loved," her stepson Michael Reagan wrote on Twitter

All true, but alcoholism was pretty much limited to adults

Not true. Plenty of teenagers used to become alcoholics before, and still do this day.

Absolutely won't be any different. You and FortWayne are making the same false assumption that legalizing/illegalizing a substance affects a person's level of addiction, and their choice to be an addict.

Because they do affect it. Availability creates opportunity. If there is less, than less people are addicted to it. Only reason more people are not fucked up, is because it is hard to get and is illegal.

Sounds good to me

Must be way over the hill. Cannabis is much safer than alcohol or tobacco, but you can look up the proof for yourself.

Also, why should anyone subsidize others bad choices with regard to health habits? If your dad died of lung cancer because he smoked his whole life, why should that have to be someone else's problem?

. She also hired as decorators a gay male couple, whom she invited to stay in the Lincoln bedroom, and they did. In that way, without undermining her husband (who had invited a lesbian couple to stay in his home decades before btw), she put a human face on the Americans most at risk of getting HIV. She did that at a time when others (including the Pope and Pat Buchanan) were doing the opposite, or ignoring HIV entirely (usually including, publicly, the POTUS, though he and Nancy did privately call France to help their friend Rock Hudson). Also, American historians credit her rightly with helping to secure the publication of President Buchanan's letters showing that he was gay.

See Wayne...your hero wasn't a homophobe after all...his daughter recently said he would have supported gay marriage...considering you can't find fault with Reagan, why are you such a homophobe?

The Nancy Reagan memorial library will have a Sinatra Pavilion

Did anyone else open this thread just to confirm that DBOAFD/AF had posted the most recent comment?

In 2 days it'll be Kennedy's assassination anniversary date.
