I hope I haven't made a colossal mistake

A dear old lady I know just forwarded an e-mail to me that urged me not to use the new dollar coins because they allegedly omit "In God We Trust." I sent her a link to the snopes.com page debunking the rumor, plus told her that I had one of the coins and that the motto was on the edge of the coin, along with the date.

I hope she doesn't get mad at me....

...this is why the dollar coin will never be in successful circulation?

I also sent a "reply all" message to a well-meaning friend who sent me an e-mail decrying the "new Muslim stamp." (http://www.snopes.com/politics/stamps/eidstamp.asp) I happened to remember when this stamp came out, which was several years ago when Bush II was President. I didn't have the snopes.com link, but I said flat-out that the stamp was several years old and had been introduced when Bush was President.

I hope I enlightened her and her friends, but she's probably praying for me right now...
