Well we could say that sacred facts are screwed up by magic mushrooms too. There's no need for you to tell us more.

The Kansas vote gives us a smidgen of hope. I haven't looked into whether such a ballot will be replicated in other states. It does seem from opinion polls that the majority of Americans don't support the Supreme Court decision, at least in part. However, I'll have to have a think about that: at the time of the abolition of hanging in the UK, 84% of the populace (according to the polls of the time: is that a caveat?) wanted to retain hanging. Dunno whether they were asked whether we should bring back the birch... I'm always wary of using poll results to give me succour apropos of my own views. I think we call it confirmation bias.
