Well, that's how democracy works. Enjoy it while it lasts, it won't be
around much longer.

Seems to me the vast majority of people have some kind of rationally
unsupported belief system. People believe in ghosts, they believe in gods
and angels, they believe in horoscopes and fortune telling, they believe
in
feng shui, acupuncture, reiki, crystal healing, colonic jetwashing. It
seems
to be quite the norm for human beings. Maybe we're just never content with
reality, we always need something more. Wise persons make do with the
undeniably fictional, such as Trek :)
