I get a lot of email fwds from my sDad's side of the family. 98% of the time, I just delete them. But there was one the other day about how the Cap and Trade Bill was going to require all homeowners to upgrade all of their utilities and require licenses before you can sell your house. There were a lot of other cockamamie "requirements" in the email, too.
So I replied. To all. And suggested that they read the snopes.com article disproving the claims in the email or the actual bill and provided the links. There may have also been some mention of needing licenses to breed to prevent dissemination of such emails. But I digress.
My cousin's husband replied (to all) to me and went on and on about how turrible Obama has been, the economy, unemployment rate and how it's ALL.MY.FAULT because I am a "FLAMING LIBERAL." Did someone set me on fire? He also accused me of calling everyone redneck dumbasses, which I did not. I just said, "you people." He yammered on and on about politics, family issues and finally told me "the ass you kick today may be the ass you kiss tomorrow!" His people are klassy.
So I just replied (just to cousin's husband) and said, "Okay. But did you read the bill and educate yourself instead of relying on an email?"
Gawd I love stirring the pot.
