uspol, the "coup," self-observation, graciousness in defeat 

Heh. I was just informed that MIKHAIL GORBACHEV has labeled last night's Capitol violence as a coup. Nobody addressed translation issues, but for now I'm gonna take a dive and score a zero on this one.

Related thought: I don't think there's anything wrong with demanding proof out of people, not even a bit aggressively. The real test of character is whether you can ever actually ACKNOWLEGE IT, CONCEDE, AND CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS ACCORDINGLY.

Of course, this is exactly what I am trying to do right now, so this is an INCREDIBLY self-serving observation.
