3. Your poll was very hard to answer. #'s 4, 5 & 6 were hard for me

to chose from. I picked #5...but think that the term "Conspiracy Theory" has the same bad connotation as "Liberal" does these days.

All evidence should be checked and all possibilities considered. Whatever evidence is there should be tracked down and sifted and verified. Unfortunately Poltical Gamesmanship goes for an easy answer when in fact the answer is more complex therefore when more information is needed what turns on discovery is immediately classified as "Conspiracy Theory" by one side or the other...depending on whose ox is being gored by the information.

Most of the "fringe stuff" get's pushed aside by those with "rational, inquiring minds" so what's left after a few years grows in strength probably because there's truth in whatever the "theory was." And those who deny that want to always attack folks who offer further evidence as "Conspiracy Theorists."

The whole Bush Administration has such ties far back to the US arms industry in the late 19th Century that anything that's discussed about them has had a history of not being reported or if it is reported it's discounted as "Conspiracy Theory."

The whole Bush Family and it's ties is a "Conspiracy" going way back. And a REAL ONE that those in power have enjoyed and so they trash those who try to put out the truth. :shrug:
