I want to thank Kelly Mcallister for the thorough report on the Gopher
incident. It is good to finally know what happened, and it makes sense. I am
chagrined that I bought in at all into what I heard on radio and TV. I should
have known better. (This from somebody who had announced earlier that it was
dangerous to gather ones news from the newspapers.)

It is sobering to realize how easy it is to get fictions spread around as
truth. The incident related by Kelly just isnt as sexy, as newsworthy as a
story of absurd victimization by the government. I am impressed by the amount
of emotion this whole subject creates (Condoricide).

The good news is that despite the proliferation of lies and deceptions 48 was
soundly defeated. Gives one hope.

I shall continue asking questions but I will try very hard to withhold
comments until I have found out what happened. (An amazing new precedent) I
shall also continue thinking about the quality of information in this
information age.
