In reply to the discussion: 40 children dead in Iraq attack: UN [View all]I am very much anti conspiracy theory. I don't believe in any of that conspiracy nonsense concerning 9/11, Kennedy, anti-vaxx or whatever else.
But I do believe corruption is a major problem in the US Government. That is very different than CT. Corruption is out in the open. There is no super secret cabal that controls our lives.
It is important to know the motivations of government officials and why they do what they do. That is why I knew the excuses for the Iraq War were BS. It wasn't because I believed in some crazy conspiracy theory, but I also know the the intentions of US officials aren't always pure.

Yeah, you probably shouldn't have bothered, but not for the reason you give.
