is it criminal? yes, he has admitted to it. he admitted to it only after reporters asked him about p it. he said no. i think the reason he admitted to it was not just falling on the sword. apparently there is a rumored videotape. if police charge him with smoking crack is that a jailable offense in canada? it is. all they have right now is the confession. enless the videotapes come out, it may not be enough. why is there videotape anyway? what explains that? it is rumored that there is videotape anyway. they asked him have you ever smoked crack cocaine and he said no. what he said to the press is well, you didn t ask the question right. are you kidding? so there is a type of him,
don t think it works. and yet, bob, i wonder. i really enjoyed every moment of the book. like, i was deeply engaged with p it. i also kept wondering, despite the hatred i felt for bush, i was raised to despise this person. i was thinking, is it too much to i was looking at this great quo from ron reagan, in which he said his father was tender hearted and sentimental in his personal dealings, but he could nevertheless have difficulty extending his sympathies to abstract classes of people. when we look at the racial inequalities that emerge during the 1980s, we see exactly that. that didn t feel like politics was working for many communities. no, politics was definitely not working for many people. and reagan s policies hurt people during the reagan administration. and subsequently, right up until today, with the folks that are following their view of who and what ronald reagan was.
