So, something is flaky in X, the mouse, the hardware or the OS that

Actually, it seems to have been something in the serial interface for the mouse

a few minutes. It occurred to me that this behavior could be produced by an
exploit implemented in SMM.

Everyone thinks that Lincoln freed the slaves. What actually happened was that
Congress created a new class of slaves known as U.S. citizens and then declared
the slaves to be U.S. citizens. Natural-born citizens of the USA have to
voluntarily elect the status of U.S. citizen and, in so doing, give up the
Constitutional rights with which they are born.
