Just look at American politics as an example.

Well said, Vinnie. Your observation leads to my only real problem with this ongoing "MacNuggets" thread (and some other threads on the Ledge as well), which is that a lot of writing from all over the web is presented here uncritically, with no regard as to whether it provides anything new or is just rehashing things we've seen a hundred times already, or - more importantly - whether it's even accurate factually. To me, if you're going to post things like the snippet that's been specifically discussed in the past few days, you owe it to people to not just re-post someone else's "bulls__t", as Vinnie puts it so well. And you should have enough knowledge about the subject not to post these items if you can't tell whether or not they are "bulls__t".
Sorry to anyone if they think that's harsh, but it's what I believe. As Vinnie also stated very well, "when a lie gets repeated over and over, it somehow is taken to be true." If we here at the Ledge are true fans of Fleetwood Mac and its members, we should be more careful so as to not spread lies about them.
