Re: "...though it is considered a legal document by the State of Hawaii."

Personally, when I shave, I use Occam's Razor. It gives me a nice, close, clean shave. Try it sometime.

Is that anything like a Lady Gillette?

Personally, when I take vitamins I like to get ones from natural sources instead of synthetic ones, even though the synthetic ones have been certified to be the same.  Because they aren't the same.

OK, if you wanna talk logic here:  if I were running for President and anyone questioned my Birth Certificate in a way that only the genuine original would do, I would produce it forthwith so that not even a small number of voters would have questions or make it an issue.  Unless of course there was some reason that might cause even more problems than releasing it.

I am not alleging any kind of conspiracy, btw, just questioning what is really up with not simply releasing the dang thing.

Old Occam would likely say that smoke was enough to prove there was a fire somewhere.
