Absolutely - I have no problem with suspension of disbelief when the laws of physics or biology are messed with, but I expect human psychology to follow certain rules!

i.e. I expect the Southern politicians to continue to behave like Southern politicians. If I wrote an adventure which depicted Bill Hickock leading a flower arranging class, people would laugh - if I depicted him as a werewolf, people would approve - there's some stuff you can do in fantasy that works and some stuff you can't.

Let me get this straight - you have absolutely no problem with the dead 
getting up again and try to eat your brain, but a small piece of paper with 
the state seal on it sounds unbelievable?

Nice perspective ;-)

But seriously, I added a remark for Chris in the subject, since he will 
surely give you a much better answer on this than I ever could.
