 In fact, Anthony is the only person who seems to think the pictures are
of
 Reagan. They aren't. They are of the funeral of a former Head of State.
Since
 in the USA, heads of state are elected, then it's a politician's funeral,
but --
  if you can see the distinction -- he didn't get the state funeral because
he
 was a politician, he got it because he was head of state.
 Furthermore, it was a News Event. If you're interested in the event, or in
 seeing the particular photographer's work, you check out the pictures. If
you
 aren't, you don't. But this thread didn't start out with any commentary
about
 politics, it was about a listmember's pictures of a rare and newsworthy
event.

All good points, Eleanor,
A month or two ago, someone (was it Dag?) posted a pic or two of the royal 
wedding in Norway.  No one said 'boo.  In fact, most seemed to think they 
were wonderful (which they were, from a photographic viewpoint, and from the 
viewpoint of documenting a newsworthy event).

Seems to me that the Reagan funeral is about the same thing, only more.  
It's a newsworthy event.  It was very well photographed by tom, without any 
political commentary or implication.

It was more than appropriate for him to post them.
cheers,

Whenever I was losing a fight, say to 3 or more guys, I always ended up
hightailing it before I got seriously hurt actually.  Yes, I have run from
fights I probably couldn't win...  I once was walking down the street on
Saint Patty's, fairly intoxicated, but not falling down drunk, and the
unique thing is about this situation, in this town, Savannah, Saint Patty is
chaos.  Anyhow, 2 guys sitting on top of their SUV call me a name or
something and I tell him to get stuffed.  So they both jump down and say
they want to fight.  And me being me, I figure, what the hell, you know,
lets do it.  So I walk up to the first guy and he kind of runs away then the
other comes at me and he belts me right across the face, and some people
watching, gasp and say holy shit etc.  But being a dumbshit, he stands there
and watches to see what his punch did, I turn to him and say, You hit like
a woman, really loud too, so everybody can hear it.  Then I walk towards
him and he pretends to have a knife, so in the interest of not getting
stabbed I hightail it out of there.  The moral is, I'm dumb enough to fight,
but not to get maimed.

However, that was a bit of a dead end, then I found out Canadian Grenadiers
wear it too (after all, the hats come from their bears..). But alas, the

Then I chanced upon an Encarta definition which mentioned drum majors too.

Because my God damned Prime Minister is down there on a G-8 summit

Sounds like YOU dont want to hear the truth. Regan was not all good. In

This killfile business cracks me up though. Its like because it

Hey Gonz,
Talk to the flamers, not me. When people start making claims about 
Reagan being a good president, etc. etc. then it is only normal that 
those who disagree with that statement will voice their opinions too. 
For what its worth, I was saddened to hear of his death too, even though 
I didnt agree with his policies.

No, this flame war was started by an individual that had to add 
political flame-baiting to simple pictures of an event.  You know, it is 
possible to either refrain from political commentary, or keep the 
commentary to the photos.  As I mentioned, this was not a hated dictator 
that died.  Controversial maybe, but not to the level that should 
provoke the unecessary rant that it did.  Political flame-baiting does 
not belong in a forum such as this, it merely provokes long angry 
threads such as this one, and have no positive outcomes that I know of.

On the subject of the GFM (supposedly named due to the age of the 
atendees? [joke]), I was/am fine with the GFM chatter, even if it didnt 
have anything to do with Pentax, which it didnt. Was just lots of back 
scratching. Maybee the event did but the chatter on this board didnt. In 
any event I dont think the atendees have any special powers or 
priveledges on this list regardless of how big they are, if that is what 
you are suggesting. Or do they?

Well, one of them sets up/hosts the PUG website, another maintains this 
very list.  So I guess at least one of them has the special power to 
take you (or me) off this list. ;)  But I wasn't making any reference to 
their importance or special powers/priveledges.  I merely said that 
they are a big part of the list, i.e. they contribute alot, in 
photographic wisdom, wit, helping newbies, etc.  There are many other 
big contributors to this list that were not able to attend GFM.

What is going on with you anyway?  You seem to bitch about topics not 
being very related to Pentax, yet you embroil yourself in many flame-war 
topics such as the stupid Windows OS war you got so worked up about, now 
this.  If you are so into Pentax, then please post some on topic 
threads and redeem what little you have left of yourself in this mail 
list.  From what I hear, many people have automatically deleted your 
postings already, that didn't have to happen.

BTW, how old are you anyway?  I have a theory that age has something to 
do with the probability of being at odds with members of this mail list. 
 Many of the members here are older, and some of the contributors that 
get embroiled in these flame wars seem to be socially awkward, possibly 
due to age/immaturity?  There are exceptions of course, I know of a few 
contributors here that although young, have a knack for social 
interaction and get along fine here. The internet/email/lists seems to 
make it easy to get to the point of I'm 7'1, 350 pounds and I could 
kick your butt, asshole, whereas in real face-to-face settings people 
in general would require alot more to get to that level.

death of all three presidents that I mentioned, so that makes me a 
right wing bigot as one poster has declared just because myself and 
others asked him to keep political discussion and vitriol out of this 
list?

In addition, many of us who did not attend GFM and really wanted to 
go, wanted to hear as much as possible about the get together, it 
being one of the largest Pentax afficionado gatherings in recent 
history.  Just because they are not talking about photography and 
cameras does not make it inappropriate for the Pentax discussion 
mailing list.  They ARE a big part of the PENTAX discussion list, in

Gonz, flame war? I think you are going a bit over the top mate. I have 
said nothing inflamatory, just my opinions fairly conservatively put. 
You may not agree with them, that is your choice, but to taint them as 
some lesser form of vermin seems a bit extreme. I dont like a lot of 
what you have to say either, but would rather express my opinions and 
arguments than try and silence you, like you seem to try to silence 
others. Live and let live. Its just all talk.

Hey Gonz,
Talk to the flamers, not me. When people start making claims about 
Reagan being a good president, etc. etc. then it is only normal that 
those who disagree with that statement will voice their opinions too. 
For what its worth, I was saddened to hear of his death too, even 
though I didnt agree with his policies.
No, this flame war was started by an individual that had to add 
political flame-baiting to simple pictures of an event.  You know, it 
is possible to either refrain from political commentary, or keep the 
commentary to the photos.  As I mentioned, this was not a hated 
dictator that died.  Controversial maybe, but not to the level that 
should provoke the unecessary rant that it did.  Political 
flame-baiting does not belong in a forum such as this, it merely 
provokes long angry threads such as this one, and have no positive 
outcomes that I know of.

On the subject of the GFM (supposedly named due to the age of the 
atendees? [joke]), I was/am fine with the GFM chatter, even if it 
didnt have anything to do with Pentax, which it didnt. Was just lots 
of back scratching. Maybee the event did but the chatter on this 
board didnt. In any event I dont think the atendees have any special 
powers or priveledges on this list regardless of how big they are, if 
that is what you are suggesting. Or do they?
Well, one of them sets up/hosts the PUG website, another maintains 
this very list.  So I guess at least one of them has the special power 
to take you (or me) off this list. ;)  But I wasn't making any 
reference to their importance or special powers/priveledges.  I 
merely said that they are a big part of the list, i.e. they contribute 
alot, in photographic wisdom, wit, helping newbies, etc.  There are 
many other big contributors to this list that were not able to attend 
GFM.

What is going on with you anyway?  You seem to bitch about topics not 
being very related to Pentax, yet you embroil yourself in many 
flame-war topics such as the stupid Windows OS war you got so worked 
up about, now this.  If you are so into Pentax, then please post 
some on topic threads and redeem what little you have left of yourself 
in this mail list.  From what I hear, many people have automatically 
deleted your postings already, that didn't have to happen.

BTW, how old are you anyway?  I have a theory that age has something 
to do with the probability of being at odds with members of this mail 
list.  Many of the members here are older, and some of the 
contributors that get embroiled in these flame wars seem to be 
socially awkward, possibly due to age/immaturity?  There are 
exceptions of course, I know of a few contributors here that although 
young, have a knack for social interaction and get along fine here. 
The internet/email/lists seems to make it easy to get to the point of 
I'm 7'1, 350 pounds and I could kick your butt, asshole, whereas in 
real face-to-face settings people in general would require alot more 
to get to that level.

In addition, many of us who did not attend GFM and really wanted to

Bob, there is this old saying, An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.
I'm pretty much sick of this insult fest, so I'm going to put an end to it
now by not returning the favor. I've had a few glasses of wine interspersed
over the past two years, so I'm not a drunk as you imply, I've never been in
a fight in a bar.  And I've never started the fight, never.  I just don't
take shit, and people like to give me shit so there you have it.  There was
a point in my life where I realized some people only understand one thing,
getting punched upside the head...  I once got attacked by a group of black
kids when I was in college because I dared to walk on the sidewalk where
they were standing...  Maybe I should show them respect and cross the
street, you tell me, what should I have done?  The funny thing is, I didn't
want to cross the street, because I thought I'm going to show them how we
can share the sidewalk, me being white and all...  You know, some
white-bred people will run at the site of a black man, I just wanted to
give them the dignity of a normal human passing on the sidewalk.  But I
guess that was just an offence to them, me thinking we were equal.  Funny
how those things flip-flop isn't it??  The point is everyone has their own
twisted view of the world man, everyone is twisted in some way.  As for your
discussion on apes, we are all apes, even Einstein was an unmitigated
primitive ape-man who fucked and married his first cousin.  Not many people
are aware of what a disgusting private life he led.

 normally get a range of opinion no matter what the image you

You seem to be a member, why don't you tell me the proper forms to fill out?

I was speaking slightly tongue in cheek. I'll take whatever pictures I like,
and I'll post them here if they don't suck.

BTW, I'd like you to explain how these are particularly patriotic. Pretty
much every shot that could be construed as heroic is balanced by one that
could be considered mundane or even irreverent. Half the shots are of people
smiling, laughing or talking on the phone. Compare that to the typical
Kennedy shot.

I really had no agenda except to take some shots of something that doesn't

 I thought Tom's photos were excellent, particularly the riderless horse,
 which I think is as good an example as any I've seen in the press of that
 image.

Now there I'd disagree with you.  I've seen wider shots which give more
of the total atmosphere; Tom's is too tight a shot for my preferences.

Oh come on, grow up, Americans voted him in, they are just seeing him out the 
way that they do people who held his level of governance. Toms pics were 
representative of what he saw nothing more. I saw the PBS Jim Lehrer special 
just before I saw Toms pics and I got much more out of his coverage. I'm glad 
he had the opportunity to be there so he could share it with us. Thanks Tom.

Tom, you did nothing wrong.  This is just good photojournalism.  People 
shouldn't put their own political commentary onto something that is 
apolitical.  Just because the funeral procession was for a political 
figure does not make it a political event.  He was the leader of our 
country, but he was also a citizen.  Its a sad day when people inject 
venemous rhetoric, it shows incredible immaturity.   Keep 'em coming.

I'm no fan of Reagan, or his politics.  Quite the contrary.  But, the man 
just died.  Like it or not, he was a very popular President of the world's 
most powerful country.  And, he just died.  We should show some respect, to 
him, the office of president, the country, and those who are grieving.

I wasn't even interested enough to look at the photos.  But with all the 
crap being stirred by certain disrespectful persons on this list, I guess I 
should go look.

 And one of the most unpopular to the rest of the world, particularly
 Latin America (remember Honduras and Nicaragua?) and Iraq (where he
 setup Sadam Hussein with a nice set of weapons to kill his own people),
 or perhaps Afghanistan (where his policies left Bin Laden and co. setup
 and nice little training camp after supporting him and the Taleban with
 weapons and cash to kick out the Russians).
 
 Sure he helped put and end to the cold war, but he also played an

bigot? Should I call you a Stalinist or a Nazi because of your

they are not here to spread the agenda. People have strong feelings both
anti and pro-Reagan, there is no reason to stir up a pot here. I suggest

Some (a very few) respond with a biting wit. I love these folks. I know

Yeah Bob, you're just so witty and smart, because being witty equals being
smart, never mind all those things like SAT scores, and IQ scores, and what
have you  I'm honestly not friendly, nor do I really like people, they
largely annoy me, I'm super competitive, I always want to win, and it miffs
me when its impossible to win.  Like now, now it's impossible to win, it's
impossible to save face, but I must run this broken train through wall after
wall until every single one of you simply give up out of sheer fatigue.  Its
just the way I am.  Sorry, but my will to achieve the upper hand is simply
enormous in these types of situations.  I probably should have pursued a
degree in dictatorships, or gone to Grad school as a Fascist overlord in
training.  But you know, my school just didn't offer such forward thinking
fields of study.  Go figure.

I find it ... amusing to provoke folks I know nothing about. How they react
when they're angry tells me a lot about them. All are miffed, but:

Some (a very few) respond with shame. I feel sorry for them.
Some (many folks) respond with a well thought out retort. They're pretty
normal, and I like them.
Some (a very few) respond with a biting wit. I love these folks. I know
they're fun, and probably enjoyed giving it back.. with a good twist.
Some (too many) respond like you.

Well, there you have him, folks. No further comment necessary.

Regards,
Bob...

I am not even going to read this thread. I am deleting it completely unread.

I couldn't stand Reagan's politics. I really couldn't.

OTOH, I feel it's perfectly appropriate for some mourning of a former 
president. At least by those that admired him. I expect the same thing will happen 
when Clinton dies. There will be detractors then as well, while others will 
assess his record saying he was great.

But I suspect this thread is getting into political debates and I prefer to 
do my political venting elsewhere.

Not all women like me, no, many despise me, because as you've seen, I am a
bastard, prone to tantrums, who is also ridiculously stubborn, and almost
impossible to get the final word against.  But there are those who are
attracted to these types, they tend to be the passionate ones, I prefer it
that way really.

Of what should he be jealous? You're a rude jerk. And for the record, just
because you describe yourself in an e-mail doesn't mean that's what you
really are. I could tell you I'm 21 and I look like Britney Spears but it
wouldn't make it true. Jealous of someone who brags about himself in an
e-mail? Oh, give more of that! (sarcasm intended)

Reagan was a dumb blonde, obviously the current government is stirring up

Nice pictures though, all of them are good, a few are great, I think my
favorite is the one with the girl by the fence looking back at you, although
I prefer the composition of the one where she's looking out at the

Tan, this actually is a woman.  With a middle name like Taimana, it has 
to be woman right.  I mean isn't Sean the male version of this name, not 
Shawn, which like Dawn, is feminine?
