This is a favorite of mine in part because I don't mind correcting people who should know better, but also, it's one of very few ways I can contribute to the cause given that I have little money, live in one of the redder states north of the of Mason-Dixon, and I'm not a particularly charismatic person. What I have is a lot of time, cockroach like tenacity, and a desire to do something.
With all of that in mind, I remembered someone suggesting (please let me know who as I want to give credit where it's due) that a list be compiled of brief answers to common canards and question. The lies and misinformation regarding our community are many. I'm sure we've all encountered our fair share (and rebutted them twice as many times).
