Right-wing myths with an endless shelf life
Editor's note: I receive all sorts of right wing foolishness by e-mail. This one below, oft-repeated no matter how many times it is shown to be false, is particularly deluded and preys on the fact that many right wingers are uneducated or indeed, semi-literate — being enthusiasts who entertain only those thoughts, ideas and books that agree with their positions — hence they end up in a fantasy land of their own devising. It reminds us of the Right wing Republican Senate candidate who declared that women who are victims of a "legitimate rape" will most likely not become pregnant.
