No, I don’t recall any Government “supporting” those.

Yawn, that's getting tedious. Maybe we should make that the default, and
exlaim when he is right instead? That would be much more interesting. ;)

Doing so would reduce the noise, as he is so seldom right.

Better would be for everyone to killfile him, and never respond to his
ravings.  Eventually he would starve and go away if he stopped getting
fed.
