f.Mud.I,

The "Dennis Karjala" of the ballad is clearly a mythologization of the ASU Law Professor who maintains this website, and who submitted this testimony to the house in 1995.

The "wise man Peter Jaszi" appears to be based on the law professor who gave this testimony to the Senate in 1995

The "valiant maid Mary Brandt" would be based another law professor who set up the EXTENSION-L mailing list.

One suspects that the alligators are a fictional embellishment.
