Widely Believed

Pleased to learn that not every conspiracy-theorist is just an partially-unemployed weirdo who sits around in his boxers netsurfing all day, such as myself. :)

Some believers in The Big Conspiracy are actually US Senators or reporters for the BBC. Guess that's just naturally what happens when the corruption gets as obvious as it has these last two terms.

For the record:

• I have always suspected most politicians to be corrupt, but I've always thought it was more "make sure I get mine" then "lets plot to secretly control the masses".
  
• I've always felt that there was something the Warren Commision wasn't telling us about the JFK assassination, though I was largely willing to live with the concept that they could have been avoiding the exposure of embarrassing Secret Service incompetence and/or a Cuban connection that would have started WWIII.
• I've always thought Conspiracy Theory was a fun and amusing thing to work into a roleplaying game or movie script.
• Only recently have I been forced to conclude that some version of The Big Conspiracy really exists, and that the very fate of our democracy lies in the balance. My eyes have opened, and I can no longer sit silent.
• I promise I will only engage in non-violent methods of subversion. I may be a tiny bit paranoid, but I'm still mostly harmless. "The answer to 1984 is 1776!" is a cool numerical slogan, but I'm still a pacifist.
