Let's lighten up people. I personally don't want to call anyone a liar until I know for sure. As far as crossing the line between fact and fiction, well, try and find a true 'no-spin' zone on TV these days. I'll take everything written here with a grain of salt, but try to enjoy them. I guess where MickGinney's writing comes into it is that the writing is about a very emotional topic and people don't want to feel manipulated when it comes to things like that. With all of these Internet hoaxes about sick or dying children and post cards, etc, I can see why people are touchy.
Mickginny, if this really happened I am sorry. If this is some kind of fictional 'teaching story', label it as such and I'll share the one where I was hired to run a herd of unicorns and pegasii between San Antonio and Dallas.
