239. I think the reason this thread works and is so dynamic is that it
allows us to think freely for a bit without fearing what we might look like with negative connotations from labels or belittling of ideas and people. A think tank in every sense.

Unlike bushco who TOLD people to find links to a predetermined conclusion, I prefer to not have ceilings on thinking and the process of learning. Web sites and credible sources have been repeatedly cited. The discussions here have not been just pure speculation. But in any investigation, there is always a degree of speculation.

But as H2Oman wisely stated, ultimately, it is personal responsibility to discern information.

If you had told me 3 yrs ago that democracy will be hijacked in America, I'd thought you were crazy. If you had told me 4 yrs ago that the WTC in NYC would be attacked and collapse at the hands of terrorists, I'd never have believed you. I am not willing to subscribe to JUST conventional thought as we are not living in conventional times.

I thank everyone who has the courage and has contributed to this thread. It has been an eye opener, to say the least. I hope the ideas and the LETTERS continue.....
