The truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me snopes
I think the internet has been around long enough that people
would not take everything they read on a website or email for
truth. I went in to my favorite gas station today for a cappucino,
and on the counter there was an email printed off of the internet
and taped down with the header…PLZ READ. It is the still circulating
email about Starbucks not supporting our soldiers yada yada. I had
to wonder, didn’t anyone take the time to research this and find out
if it was true. I don’t generally believe these types of things, but if I
think there might be a grain of truth in it, I go to snopes.com and check
it out. There are a couple of good websites that have researched these
rumors and will tell you if they are true or not. It worries me that people
will so blindly believe everything they hear or read. Has this blindness
encouraged leaders to dismiss us as intelligent citizens? Are our children
going to grow up without independent thought? Much to ponder for sure.
First, I have to find a new favorite gas station.
