   Doc is a legend only because Wyatt has been hyped beyond his real worth to   
   western history.  Doc is ridding on the ragged coat tails of Wyatt.

   Oh, please.  The Clantons did not violate any city ordinance despite what   
   the Earp hypestorians (yeah this is deliberate)might have your believe since   
   they only quote section one of the Tombstone Ordinance and omit section two.   
   Read that section two and see if you think they were in violation.

   Tell me what Doc accomplished in his life.  My list is blank.
