I'm part of the group that believes that Harper Lee did not write "To Kill A Mockingbird." The story I heard for years and years is that Truman Capote (her cousin) wrote it and gave it to her, because she desperately wanted to have something published, but her writing was just not that good.

As soon as you align yourself with any religion, all you're saying is, "I'm right and you're wrong."

She couldn't find something more important to blog about?
