Actually, he posted a whole raft of his delusions this time.
And forged the post he was "responding" to (original text
restored).

Delusion 1. The weasel thinks that *he* is pointing that out.

Delusion 2: the dates are 405 BCE - 403 BCE.

Delusion 3: the system operating in Australia is not open,
and is not democratic.

That was the case everywhere in the world until recently. It's *still*
the case in a large fraction of the world.

Delusion 4: Guano thinks that the right to vote on every issue is
disfranchisement.

Delusion 8: that's about Sparta's pre-eminence in Greece in the period
he named (404 BCE - 371 BCE). Were he able to drag himself up to moron
level, he might have learnt that at the website URL'd above. He might
even have been able to work out that the alliance of Thebes and Athens,
which broke the Spartan hegemony, indicates that Athens was free well
before 371 BCE. It's doubtful he'd have thought to find out just *when*
Athens freed itself though. It'd be too much to expect him to read, say,
Xenophon.

Delusion 9: Guano thinks I *am* him.
Delusion 10: Guano thinks that the moronic drivel he wrote above hasn't
been repeatedly disproven. See:
