Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher Were Not Funny

One of my readers made a series of comments the other day, mostly about suggested karmic links to the past. As we are in the middle of home renovations, I took the easy way out, and responded with some dismissive replies. (And, if I’m honest, having lived in England during most of Margaret Thatcher’s ‘reign’, I probably have a jaundiced viewpoint about her.) This same person came back with a comment (since removed) that this web site is a joke with the way I responded. Ouch…

His premise is that the relationship between these two world leaders goes back to the 16th century, when they made great political strides as William the Silent (1533 – 1584) and Elizabeth I (1533 – 1603). Okay, let’s see how the charts align:

Yes, I have to admit that there are definite links here. The reader’s contention is that they even look alike.

Well, I’m not overwhelmed by their similarity, but there is a hint of something in their eyes.

So, now let’s look at The Iron Lady and the Virgin Queen.

And there are definite links here, as well. (Previously, a family member, unnamed for privacy issues, thought she was Good Queen Bess reborn: I guess that was just a fantasy, after all.) Do they look alike?

.

Again, I don’t see the likeness, but maybe I have a blind spot, here.

Or as someone keeps reminding me, don’t overthink it: we are all one.

So, who’s laughing now?
