I freely admit I'm not much of a movie watcher these days. But there's a special place in my heart for Great Britain's finest jewel. So off to Redbox I went. ;0)Conclusion: I've never seen a character more accurately portrayed. Meryl Streep... wow... there are no words.
An enormous ally of the United States during the final days of the Cold War, Thatcher represents the very best of our Motherland in my discerning opinion. I have such fond & distinct memories of her standing side by side with President Reagan during the course of the 1980's, & will never forget her endearing eulogy at his funeral in June of 2004. Now in the sunset of her remarkable life, I am deeply saddened to see such a resilient, steadfast woman, become so frail. But we know aging & health problems never discriminate.
As the years pass her legacy will only deepen. But I am particularly encouraged to know her carbon copy currently resides in Wasilla, Alaska.
"I think we have gone through a period when too many children & people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go & get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" & so they are casting their problems on society & who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men & women & there are families & no government can do anything except through people & people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves & then also to help look after our neighbour & life is a reciprocal business & people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations. -M. Thatcher
