I grew up respecting, almost revering Margaret Thatcher. What a stalwart in the face of encroaching Communism and it's inherent destruction of individuality and creativity. I hope her passing brings more conservative economic policy into the debate. I don't know about England but over here in America we are still spending money we don't have and expanding government services our government sucks at dispensing. Our elected representatives lie to our faces on national television and there's almost no reaction. I suppose it's always been like that but I hate it when we're being "fundamentally changed" and most of the public is blissfully unaware of the nefarious agenda being enacted right under their noses. The Iron Lady's warnings about the follies of big government are being ignored globally to our mutual detriment.
Anyways that's my thoughts about her. I know many of you have different thoughts on her impact and contributions and this thread is a chance to air them. I'll never forget reading Frederick Von Heyek's reaction to his first meeting her. "She's so beautiful!" Not an adjective I would have applied to her myself but to a guy used to having debates and discussions with hairy old men she must have seemed a Goddess.
