Or, … Let’s Pretend it’s 1980!
Yeah, I know the picture was taken when Reagan was duking
it out with Ford in the Bicentennial Year. I have very vague recollections of
the period, mostly from hazy TIME magazine covers observed in my grandparents’ house.
But I came across this picture … oh, maybe ten years ago or so, in, of all
places, an issue of a magazine about Inventors and Inventions. Since then it’s always
resonated me – the buoyant hope, the aggressive optimism Reagan epitomized, personalized, and common-man philosophized, and
would later gift our country with four years later. Quite a contrast to the vile
choices we’re faced with in three weeks.
