You have the advatange in your argument because it is the official story which is (or was) widely believed.

No. If the government is actually doing anything, it is people like YOU who will let them get away with it.

You see Geggy, you and I have specific personalities. My personality makes me skeptical of arrogant cocks. My personality makes me pick and worry at arguments from any source, and any ideological background.

This makes me an asshole. However, it also means that I can be swayed by logical, grounded, and HONEST arguments, regardless of what I want to believe.



Your personality causes you to believe what you want to and dig up any argument that might help you, no matter how illogical or ridiculous it is. People like YOU make up the majority of conspiracy theorists, people like YOU have helped further the stereotype of tinfoil-hat-wearing crazy.

You are the child at the playground who loudly squeals that Eminem is the best musician ever, and then covers his ears and sings loudly if someone disagrees.

You are the inbred conservative redneck who thinks Harry Potter promotes drug abuse.

You are the liberal hippie douche who thinks that anyone who says "illegal immigrant" rather than "undocumented worker" is a racist.

You are the republican who thinks that Newt Gingrich is always right.

You are the democrat who thinks Ted Kennedy is always right.

You are a follower.
