It took me less than a minute to find these. See also Doggiemom's post above.

People, let's all use some common sense. It amazes me how many people will swallow this tripe without blinking an eye (or doing a little homework) yet still doubt such things as, oh...the existence of God or something. I'm not addressing this to anyone in particular - Eudora, you're still young, and Cougie, you did say "I can't believe it" so of course I'm not meaning y'all.

But I wish the world in general, and right now America in particular, would put as much time, energy, and passion as they do firing off useless email crap into something more constructive and worthwhile, such as raising funds for relief, or even the things they need to be doing despite the attack, such as volunteering at their house of worship or in their communities, rescuing homeless animals, even spending time with their families. The Internet is truly, truly a double-edged sword. And as such shouldn't be swallowed so carelessly.
