ezs note:  When I first ran across a blog that was critical of Ronald Reagan,  I was hesitant.  Not that they were wrong - they weren't.  It's that most of them were just a wee priggish. Or a lot.  Finally, I opened Leeja's blog - and wow!  She's smart, funny and fresh.  I decided to put up on Sundays Leeja's blog.  If you look at the broad spectrum, she's a lawyer who advocates human rights - and more specifically LGBT+  rights.  Please keep reading.  I think you'll enjoy.
