It's really unfortunate that people believe what they see and hear
without verification. It's especially true of internet information.
I'm constantly trying to get my mom and stepdad straight on emails
like this. They are especially stuck on the spam emails false emails
about Obama. They read 'em, they spread the information around and
they vote. Scary, but I think that a lot of people do the same thing.
