Subject: I get e-mails. Pt. II

I got another “Fwd” e-mail the other day about recent anti-terror doings in Australia and how we needed leaders like those in Australia. Well, the e-mail was NOT entirely true. Read the findings at snopes.com,

and see that what really happened – kewl, by the way – has been combined with an editorial from a military magazine. What tipped me off – encouraged me to look – was the reference to a Christian nation. Australia was a penal colony – drunkards, murderers, rapists, the dregs of British society. I doubt there were many Christians among the founders.

That e-mail had been “Fwd” to thousands. I wish peeps would check snopes.com BEFORE hitting “Fwd.“ * sigh *
