Two famous women died yesterday. I'll discuss the other one on my other blog. On this one, though, I'll just share my memories of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She made it to 87, but her intellect departed years ago. Dementia did her in. She lived too long. (So did her partner in crime, Ronald Reagan.)
I think Thatcher might have had more native intelligence than Reagan, but they were equals when it came to working a crowd. Both were heroes to the narrow minded, anal retentive types who resented anybody except themselves getting a hand up.
Along with Reagan, she was a major contributor to the deregulation boom that led to "too big to fail" financial entities. It's conceivable that, fifty years from now, both Reagan and Thatcher will be remembered as the monumental failures they truly were. I'm sorry I'll have to miss that.
