What the founders went through
I received this email from a liberal friend of mine, which surprised me. Don't know if its accurate or not but I'll post it anyway because it is moving if it is true:

Re: What the founders went through
BS by any other name is still BS
1). Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.
This is BS 5 Signers were captured but none died while a prisoner.
2). Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.
This is BS Nine signers died during the Revolutionary War but none of the nine died from wounds or hardships inflicted on them. Seven of the nine didn't take part in the war.
3). Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
This IMHO is also BS because the ransacking and burning of homes was a common war practice and in my opinion the signers homes were not specifically targeted.
I did not research the whole email or read the whole mail because 2 off the first 4 sentences were complete BS. And a sentence could be considered a mixture of fact and fiction.
This is the reason the all emails should be checked before being posted as true.
oracleThe oracle is in. Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!!
