Letterman didn’t write or say any of this.

Whenever you get an email with something extensive attributed to somebody famous you should question it.

You can allow it to be thought provoking, considering that the vast majority of us did nothing but be fortunate enough to be born in a free and prosperous nation. Just be alert that everything on email isn’t true.

I personally trust Snopes.com.
