 John Hinckley must have been one sick 
person.  Ronald Reagan would not be included among my favourite people but 
he was twice elected President of the world's most powerful and third most 
populous nation.  Was Reagan in any way involved with Jodi Foster? I have a 
friend John Buckley who is a partner in a Washington Law Firm whose senior 
partner was a man named Edward Bennett Williams.  John told me that at the 
time of the Oliver North Affair Williams was asked how could it be solved? 
Williams replied that only President Reagan could solve the dilemma.  Why 
don't you ask him? Williams was asked.  He retorted "I would if he 
were alive"  In fairness Williams was a life long member of the 
Democratic party. 
  
Any right thinking person must respect  a fairly elected 
head of goverment.  You don't shoot him you vote him out of office. Look at 
what nonsense we are doing today.  Austria, a member of the European Union, 
has elected a right wing party.  We now wish to ostracise the country for 
exercising it's democracy. What a foolish bunch of tyrants we elected.  The 
British Governments says democracy as Long as we approve of the result.  
When I lived in Trinidad the Prime Minster used to tell his favourite joke a 
plane on it's way to the United States crashed into the sea  4 men 
scrambled into a 3 man life raft.  One had to get out they decided to vote 
on it all being politicians.  Eric Williams PM of Trinidad and Tobago Eric 
won the vote 6 to 1

    so much to reply to from everyone but: 
    
        John Hinkley Jr. was so in love with American Actress 
    Jody Foster that he shot American President Ronald Reagan to show her just 
    how much...obviously, some Sinclairs would condemn him, some might see his 
    point of view...she is an awfully good actress...I think the Hinck is 
    till cooling his heels in some jail or other...

        tell us "Who  the Hell is John Hinckley" is he a worthy 
        opponent to turn this family  against? Will our banner fly higher 
        having done poor old John Hinckley in or  is he one of us? Constance 
        post more you have a lot to say all the people on  this list have 
        much to contribute to our understanding of a unique place in  this 
        world.  By the way did Dizzydell ever find her grandmother?
