quade 4 #2 June 9, 2004 No. At least not right now. The faces on money haven't changed since 1929 and I just don't see how a case can be made that Reagan is somehow "special". If, after a long period of time, people still feel that his face needs to be on some bill, that option would remain open, but at this moment in time it's ONLY a partisan issue.

rehmwa 2 #4 June 9, 2004 Quotebut at this moment in time it's ONLY a partisan issue. Less a 'partisan' issue than a 'mourning' issue. Knee jerk proposals to emotional conditions is more of a Democrat thing than a conservative thing, so I'd say it's not a partisan thing. If this money change is still on the table after a period following the whole respectful silence thing, then that's when to consider it. ...

So, what you're saying is that there's no such thing as a "compassionate conservative"? Nawww, this is clearly partisan and legacy building.

rehmwa 2 #10 June 9, 2004 QuoteSo, what you're saying is that there's no such thing as a "compassionate conservative"? I WISH....., misapplication of self proclaimed "compassion" causes more harm than anything else - both sides of the aisle. You just see it more often on the left. It's just as damaging when it comes from the right. "well meaning idiots" is the phrase coming to mind - I don't doubt anyone's good intentions, just an inability to link to long term consequences and basic psychology ...

Guest #13 June 10, 2004 I thought Ronald Reagan was a giant. He had his flaws, but love him or despise him, he had great leadership instincts, character, and guts. That being said, the answer is most emphatically NO, he should not be on paper currency. I think the purpose of pictures on paper currency is to remind people of the purpose for which the US was created. The Founders, men who were products of the Enlightenment, were a torch that lit the world, and forever changed the way people thought about government and their relationship to it. For this, they should be immortalized for all time. I'd like to see a coin of some kind minted for a special limited run to honor Reagan, such as the quarter, and only for a minting year or until the end of this year. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

The California quarter is coming up soon enough - if they did him as the picture for a year they would be especially collectable, not to mention drive San Franciscans livid for years.
