You know...
It is commonplace in many circles for people to discuss issues such as current events or politics without being 100% sure about the "information" they share.
Now...don't get it twisted, I don't expect for one to be some sort of scholar or even a high-school graduate! I only expect that one would try their hardest to speak truthfully.
Those in the African American community are sure to remember this, and what is so sad about it, is that many of us continue to believe that this and other stories like it are true. Liz was slandered to pieces because we didn't consider the truth of the matter.
The same goes for e-mails. OH MY WORD!
Look, I understand how irresistible it can be to read some sad or scary email and send it off quick as lightning, but please, please, please research the e-mail before you send it. You will just look dumb to the smart people on you contact list who do not send unverified emails.
To tell you the truth...I hate emails like that. I feel depressed every time someone I respect sends one my way. It scares me that it is so accepted to spread misinformation in an age where such information can be cross-checked.
