Copying, Pasting, Forwarding to inform and warn via email and Facebook...

Can we talk...  you see...it seems as if some folks ....  do not realize that just because someone sends you an email or posts a message on facebook warning you that:

You will not be allowed to pray over your meal in public or you'll be arrested right here in the good ole USA starting June 15th at 6:21 am and not a minute before...

Maybe....just thinking out loud here..it'd be good to verify this information before forwarding it to everyone you've ever sent or received an email from since the internet was invented.  And MAYBE it'd be good not to post it on your facebook profile until you've verified that what you're posting is actually fact and not fiction.

If you get a kick out of posting this stuff and getting all riled up about stuff regardless of whether it's true or not...well who am I to spoil this new source of entertainment.    I can't stop you..but I can post that on my list of pet peeves...this is 179ish.   Please...if you don't have time to verify the info..do not hit forward.. do not hit copy and paste.  Because once you do..and you're in my little realm of email and facebook..then I feel obligated to do the homework..and 97% of the time...it's just not true.  You all are wearing me out! Get that scowl off you're face...it's not like I just told your firstborn there's no Santa before they were ready.... you'll be okay.   Here's a sight to help you check your facts before you start a Facebook or email riot that gets out of hand only to find it was all based on a false statement to begin with....
