True, but the other side was even worse.  Is a jury verdict resulting from
manipulation by lawyerly tricks and emotions toward something they cannot
understand a cause to celebrate?  It is a sad day when politics is reduced
to choosing between technocratic mumbo-jumbo on the one hand and witchcraft
cum deception on the other.
