4. I have a theory
republicans love action and hate deliberation. We are vice versa. Also aliens are out to get me.

7. Wow great observation, that's totally true!

Aliens are out to get you!

No seriously...I knew a guy who believed in the Icke Alien conspiracy and spent hours confiding it in me. Eventually I got bored and asked when we were going to rise up against the reptiles, but he was a total pacifist, thinking god would punish the reptiles, yet he continued to obsess on them and talk about it. Conspiracy people are all deliberation no action. That may be their core trait, and the conspiracy theories themselves justifications for why they do nothing.

5. I am with you, but I am probably a freeper troll
who has been paid to infiltrate this site and cause as much harm as I can. It's a lot easier than my last job coordinating the back room deal that forced John Edwards out of the race.

13. Sorry - but I don't think it's brilliant to claim BCCI and CIA drugrunning either didn't happen
the way it reads in the record or that it didn't happen at all, just because a few Dem powerplayers might get their legacies tarnished.
