I am also a bad American because I didn't happen to see any signifigant reason to watch Regans casket being wheeled around on MSNBC all day long. My father somehow thinks that makes me un-patriotic. 
I keep mine loaded btw

I watched mostly out of respect for what a great person and president he was. and because this is a fairly historical event. this is only the 10th presidential funeral that we have had, and the first since Johnson. and the order and formality of the honor guard is amazing to me.

no, it's because bush's family makes money off of oil companies and he's holding up his part of the deal by raising the prices...

George Carlin is the man.
My father watched the casket and whatnot roll by today on Andrews Air Force Base(place where they keep Air Force One Planes and Air Force Two Planes). He was so happy that Reagens wife(what's her name?) looked at him in the eyes. My pops is weird.
And he died at the age of 94 for christ's sake. They are going to be showing it on MSNBC and NBC for a week straight. Get on with your lives, Reagan had a good life, and was a good president, did not really **** the country up(don't quote me, I did not live during his presidency).
Anyways, back on subject, no I am not american at all. I am human.

p.p.s.; global warming assumes that theres an average temprature to begin with, and kind of ignores things like ice ages, which occur a lot faster than our "warming" is
