Although I shouldn't be, I am always kind of surprised that many of the same people who believe that the government IS capable of carrying out such conspiracy also believe that the government IS NOT capable of governing our nation. Seems to me there's a disconnect there somehow or the other.

Stephen King's "The Ten O'Clock People" fits right in! As in, the Vice President is a freaky batman, but only certain people can see that. I kinda always knew something was up with Biden.

As a duly ordained monk in the Church Of The Latter-Day Dude I feel qualified to weigh in. After all this is a weighty subject and should be dealt with in a sober and reverent manner.

As soon as I sober up and become reverent I will deal with it. For now I recommend, when troubled by these irritants, have a White Russian, man. Take your mind off of things. You know that "This aggression will not stand, man". Think things through, ponder and digest the troubling torrent of information. Should you chose a philosophical path , I suggest Zen or mmj. These work in tandem as well, especially if you are listening to Creedence.

I also find some comfort in the Pastafarian or Church of the Flying Spaghetti. I'm not sure I understand it but it is nice to know that it's there should you need it. LOL, should you knead it, get it? Pasta, Knead it? Man, I've got to find a place to sit down but I can't stop laughing. Maybe Oreo's will help. Where...... did ......I put.......... those Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Oh you're back. What did you want? Oh! yeah, man. Uh, just remember, if they peed on your rug, it's OK to be angry. I would visit longer but the league bowling starts in thirty minutes. Hope I helped. Did you notice if my car was out there when you came in?

If its any consolation to you, Hal, I recently read a quote from a British journalist on how Mitt Romney could possibly be elected president: "Half the people they let vote over there think Forrest Gump was a documentary."

George Bush was the king of this. You would hear the same people claiming that he was a bumbling idiot and then turn around and accuse him of pulling off these incredibly complex conspiracies.

Personally, I've worked with the government enough to know that they didn't pull off 9/11 or if they did, it must have been originally planed for 9/11/1996.

There's a guy on another board that I participate in that I am convinced is completely serious about believing in the Lizard people and every other conspiracy you mentioned as he has kept it up for like 7 years which would make him a really exceptional troll. There is no use arguing with him as he is absolutely convinced that he is smarter than everyone else who is too blind or stupid to see what he sees. In this way he is like the vast majority of message board debaters.
