But when the answers seem so readily available and, well, simple, I think you have to think again. The answers aren't always so straightorward, and you can't put blind trust into some web site that firmly believes conspiracy at all costs just as you can't unthinkingly aquiesce with TPTB./
Try Michael Moores's 'Stupid White Men' which at least gives you facts that you can actually reference, and then quote at your leisure. Thing is, othewise it just beomes about the 'conspiricy' ... and when you have a few nuts driving aobut in a camper van trying to find the truth, well if you were on the other side of that wouldn't you have a bit of fun? feed them scraps - accidently on purpose let slip that aliens intend to harvest our bodies for the vitamins next tuesday.
Not that those that generally hold power aren't scum - well at least certain types - those that assume power to be their right, and assume others to be power'less'. Some ppl want power at any cost, I'm sure that's true - and my feeling with the Iraq war is that this might be some extention of that - but I'm also pretty sure that power tends to dull the senses, and that these guys aren't ciminal masterminds, but really rather dim. We just live in a world where power isn't always given to the worthy - well it;s never given period, it has to be taken, and therin lies the problem my friend.
I hope that finishes this off well enough - I've been scratching my head how to end this. So in conclusion - conspiriacies exist, but mainly for pretty stupid and obvious reasons.
