And so you are saying that this is another fairy tale that is going to
ruin our lives because people will continue to believe in it because
they want to and not because it is well founded? I agree with that
assessment.

My view is that more people who bothered to vote that day voted for Bush
than Kerry.

OK, so you are saying that the Democrats should have ignored the result
of the election and brought their guns?  Who would they have shot first,
and who do you think would have been shooting back?  Or do you think
that they could have "brought down" the supreme court (once the Supremes
overruled the obviously partisan state court house) without guns?

Do you think that it would have changed anything?  I think it would have
increased the margin that the Republicans won by in 2004, because a lot
of Democrats would have been convicted felons.
