There’s a lot of BS going around out there in cyber-space: half-truths, outright lies, rumors and innuendo. To sort out the real from the bull, I heartily recommend the Snopes website. It’s devoted to smoking out urban legends. Below, for example, is a very recent email purporting to advise us about the ACLU’s attempt to remove cross-shaped headstones from Federal cemeteries. It’s NOT TRUE.

Life is full enough without wasting time and energy on intellectual spam.

Is the ACLU seeking to remove cross-shaped headstones removed from federal cemeteries?
