Hi Ginny-
Thanks for your common sense post! The vast majority of so-called government conspiracies are nothing more than fiction and are essentially harmless.
There are some, however, that are not only totally bogus but which do serious harm to the memories of thousands of innocent people who lost their lives and to their friends and families as well.
I'm speaking of the 9/11 conspiracies. This video was posted on another thread, and it alleges among other things that no plane ever hit the Pentagon on 9/11.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-594683847743189197#On that morning my wife and I were on our way to work in DC, going south on R110 which goes past the Pentagon. We saw the plane hit the Pentagon. It was a horrific sight, one that we will never forget.
People who push these kinds of conspiracies are, in my opinion, appealing to the lowest aspects of human nature.
The fact that so many others are sucked in is a sad commentary on the times in which we live.
