I actually remember watching the hostage release on TV. I aslo remember my Mom cursing the Iranians for not releasing the hostages until Carter was out. But it made sense, since they hated him for condoning the Shah (who we installed in Iran after we yanked out their democratically elected leader.)

The release of the hostages was actually expedited by the Algerians who brokered a deal between our country and Iran. Once both countries agreed to the terms and signed then the hostages were let go. The crux of that agreement was that America (rightfully so) would keep their nose out of Iran's business. Reagan didn't have anything to do with that, he was just the next president who didn't happen to be Jimmy Carter.

It's one of their best IMO.

No surprise there. Just legalize the shit already and tax it. Jeez.

If we're really a free country, then we don't need government telling us what we can and can't do with our bodies.

I have a sign to the side of my front door that says "No soliciting." Yet I still get knocks on the door. I've opened and asked the guy (at the time) what the sign says. I had one guy say "I'm not soliciting anything, I'm just here to tell you about...." The other was a Mormon missionary who answered "I'm here to tell you about the message of Jesus Christ." To which I replied "Yes, you are trying to sell me on that message, which is soliciting!"

Some of these guys got some nerve...I'm not as nice about it as I used to be.
