    ignorance or stupidity?

    At the point my husband and I introduced a friend of ours to Snopes.com because she was spreading such malicious, untrue emails, she said something to the effect that she "stood corrected." Then, we were no longer included on her mailing list for that sort of stuff. But we would bet our lifetime salaries that she's continuing to forward lies and prejudice to many others. And so are members of my family, whom I love, and that's very disturbing to me.
