I haven't had my mind changed on "issues," but a "fact" I thought I knew about a Vietnam-related discussion was well and thoroughly trounced on a couple of links I followed.

It's great when you find something like that and can drop old baggage.

Unfortunatlely, most of the new issue discussion points seem to come from the looniest sources on the right and left, and it's hard to find where the truth really lies.

Some of the postings here (more often 'pastings' here) are so transparently wrong that a 10-second Google search reveals it. But it's pretty rare, it seems, for some people to independently verify the stuff they like before they toss it on OT, which is kinda sad, really.
