Great lady, for sure. Thatcher was to British politics as Skarp is to softball blogs.

Another great video:

"We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state."
Margaret Thatcher

I would like to say she was prophetic to what is happening in today's world, but the idea of socialism has been tested and it has always failed. Thatcher and Reagan knew this.

Maybe the best compliment I've ever been paid, but of course I'm less than a pimple on the Great Lady's derriere. We found our respective levels, she and I. :mrgreen:

My kids and I sat and watched videos of her and Reagan for hours the day she died. The Socialism one is great. Better still is this one:

That has rung true for the last century. Too bad for the Brits that they had to wait 40-50 years between great and courageous leaders.

Yeah, I saw that. F'ing scumbags. How I despise them. But you wanna know the beauty of a Maggie Thatcher or Ayn Rand or the like? The opinions of worthless people were of absolutely no value to them.

The Lady is sleeping easy, you can bet bottom dollar on that.
