Billy the Kid Faces The Law... Again

Jason Raddin writes "MSNBC.com has an interesting story about a new showdown in the Old West. It seems as if Billy the Kid can still cause problems for the law-men of New Mexico, even as he rests in his grave. Several small New Mexico towns claim to possess the "true" grave of Billy the Kid (a.k.a. William H. Bonney, Henry McCarty, Kid Antrim). Two sheriffs in Capitan, New Mexico have proposed that this mystery be solved using modern DNA testing. The proposal was made in June to exhume the remains of Bonney's mother and the two reported graves of Bonney. This has spurred a hot legal debate raising an interesting question: which is more important, tourist dollars or the truth?"

Which is more important, tourist dollars or the truth?

Huh? "Dollar or the truth?"
You ask that question in a country where you can get President because "The counting of the votes that are of questionable legality does, in my view, threaten irreparable harm to the petitioner (Bush), and to the country by casting a cloud upon what he claims to be the legitimacy of this election."
Maybe you should pay atteniton to what is going on on important levels.
