	Before we can begin to discuss the subjective issues of history we
have to have at least a basic understanding of the historical facts. Kenneth
Almquist's reply to my article shows that he does not understand the basic
facts because he has confused Charles I with his son Charles II. He states
that Parliament passed a law preventing Charles I from becoming king when
in fact Charles I *RULED* from 1625 to 1640 and suspended Parliament from 1629
to 1640. I can't see how a serious discussion of history can be carried on
when people make such gross errors. This kind of error invalidates any
conclusions they may come to with their corrupted data.
	Furthermore, the chair that a king sits on is called a "throne" - not
a "thrown" as Kenneth Almquist spelled it a number of times. Please correct
this article and re-submit it after you have analysed the TRUE facts again.
