Okay, now see, this is one part of history I hate.  For all times, I've been
told William Bonney is BtK, and now I learn the historians can't even figure
out his right name.  Kind of like learning the whole Betsy Ross story was a
fabrication of some politician trying to make a name for himself.  Or, (for
modern sake) finding out that "factual" novels about certain aspects in
world current events frequently have made up events that "could have
happened."  Grrrr.... I swear, if I ever build a time machine, it'll be so
that I can stamp out all these historical inconsistencies.

Well, I'm sure if I'm wrong, several people will jump on my case, but wasn't
Nixon in hot water(gate) at this time?  Surely there's SOMETHING DL/HOE
there....
