Soft drinks are pretty useless on their own without scary
rumours attached. Virus hoaxes, spams, misinformation,
urban legends, news, rumors, rumors behind the news, etc.
are all widely circulated on the Internet and elsewhere.
It is wise, I believe, to check several sources to
determine veracity. I still keep some doubt in reserve
even then on many issues.

There are enough fears and anger in the world that we need
to be careful to avoid adding more. (Now, my views may be
suspect since I consider the Bob Dobbs Church of the
Subgenius website a scream, but I felt compelled to offer
them.)
