Reply #5: Half the time these letters are bullcrap

[LynneSin]

You go to SNOPES.com or other 'urban legend/email chain letters' and you'll find that these letters are filled with half truths and embellishments.

They'll find there is no Lori Kimble (the name of the soldier's wife at the restaurant) or her name will vary from the various versions that get sent around the country. Obviously the story is embellished to make the wife seem more heartbroken over missing her husband and the progressive patrons seem more shrill about their free speech discussion about what's going on with the war.

These types of letters have been going on years with the soul intent that neo-con fundies are warm and loving/progressives are evil and shrill.

My sister-in-law use to send me this crap which I would just delete automatically. I had asked several times not to send me this stuff but she continued to. One day she sent me the "50 people close to Clinton who were 'mysteriously' murdered" - I replied back with information from Snopes & BreaktheChain websites which showed what a load of crock all of this way. I found articles that even backed my information and I made sure I "REPLY ALL" the email (plus kept the original handy incase she decided to start blind copying the emails).

The emails ceased to come anymore.
