I think history will not treat kindly that generation of politicians, Reagan, Thatcher et al that pandered to the grossest elements of human nature to get elected and allowed people to believe that there is no limit to how rich we can all get, and no limit to what the planet can supply us with, a mindset that is still very much with us.

Well, I saw a "documentary" called "In the Face of Evil" about Reagan which seemed to me to be the most shameless propaganda I've ever seen though it is much much less skillfully done than "Potemkin". Yet, it was on TV without any comment about its many false claims. You could see though that Jeane Kirkpatrick knew she was lying in her bits. It seems to me that history is going to have a lot of work to do to get past those who worship Reagan as an idol.
