Well said.

Today's "absurd" "conspiracy theory" is tomorrow's accepted truth.

Re: Bleh (none / 0)

Really? So any bunch of overheated crap becomes "accepted truth"? There must be something wriong somewhere in that case.

Already this discussion is tipping over into automatic credence for conspiracy theories.

Re: Bleh (4.00 / 2)

That's not what Sven's saying, as I read him, and it certainly isn't what I believe either.

We are talking about the same people who gave us the Warren Commission.

And THAT can of worms will wriggle on for ever...

Re: Bleh (4.00 / 2)

I reacted to what you actually wrote...

I'm personally convinced the Kennedies and Martin Luther King were assassinated by a right-wing plot, but, as you say, that's a can of worms that will wriggle on for ever, which is why I haven't much time for it. Either something will pop up out of archives J. Edgar Hoover forgot to clean (dream on), or some aged whistle-blower will finger the culprits, or the worms will wriggle on...
