Interesting remarks. The problem with the Nancy Reagan entry is that it is blatantly biased in favor of the Reagans. For example, little balancing material was provided to put Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign in its proper context. Further, nothing about Governor Reagan's controversial administration was discussed, which I have attempted to do very briefly. I also noted that remarks about the unauthorized biography of the Reagans took special pains to discredit the author in the context of mentioning her unflattering portrayal. This is unfair, regardless of what her book did or did not say. And finally, the naive assumption that just because someone's opinion appears in an established magazine, newspaper, or published book makes that opinion any more legitimate than an alternate opinion is one of the false premises that has turned Wikipedia and other Internet resources into less than credible outlets for information. To pretend that certain truths are not actively suppressed and conveniently forgotten by the established publishing industry is to be a moron. What's more, to threaten a user of Wikipedia with being blocked merely for expressing an opinion with which you disagree is tantamount to actionable. Merely edit out the material you don't like and allow the same thing to happen to your own biased opinions, cited or not.
