RWer sent me link to G Beck about Cash for Clunkers

[Sterling]

He was saying that the site for the program has a TOS agreement that says the government claims "your computer is property of the US government" and "any files can be accessed and used". What is this BS about?

5. do these people know how to use a computer?? google?? because all of this

bs is easily checked out online. See, this is what is so great about where we are.... we have the ability to fact check anything ANYONE says.... and that means glenn beck and the faux news too. so, maybe these people who press the forward button so easily ought to go and check things out for themselves... might be quite eye opening.

"You said you had something from the 'Cash for Clunkers' program. Unfortunately, you sent me a page from George W. Bush's P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act. Please fix and re-send ..."

7. Thank you!

There are so many half truths or no-truths being floated around these days that I can't keep up with all of the lies. I managed to find the snopes piece and hit "reply all" to this mass email. I think I made a good argument as to why people should not just read a headline and run off all pissy.
