This is part two of a forwarded email I received the other day. Part One is here.

The rest of this email was all added on sometime in 2006. It was NOT said by Ben Stein. This kind of stuff drives me crazy. People forward emails because they blindly believe what is being sent. They just accept that it’s all true and important, so they send it to me, and you, whether we like it or not. I really can’t stand spam when it comes from someone I know.

Anyhoo, the following is a combination of older items about a TV appearance of Anne Graham Lotz (Billy Graham’s daughter) made just after 9-11 and the false claim that child care expert Dr. Benjamin Spock’s son committed suicide.

Personally I don’t like to talk to friends and family about politics or religion. The older I get the more strongly I feel about certain issues.

Anyway, the other day I got an email from an acquaintance. She hasn’t emailed me in about 2 years, but I guess this was so important to her that she just had to send it to her entire email list. Instead of deleting it, I thought I’d share it with you.

Here’s the email in its entirety, with my commentary thrown in after each “quote”.
