between a fact and an opinion. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to explain it to them. I'm pretty sure that in at least some cases they pretend to misunderstand.

Doug probably didn't even read that before he posted it. I've seen that with my teabagging relatives who forward those idiotic e-mails. There are so many that if they actually read them, they'd never have time to do anything else. Who cares what it actually says, or whether it's true. Post it! Forward it!
