Hello,

I'm not opposed to conspiracy theories when they make sense and explain everything satisfactorily. I consider them a fun mental exercise of 'What If?'

I have never been convinced by the Conspiracy Theories surrounding 9/11.

However, unrelated to this argument is the bout of laughter that bubbled out of me upon reading this remark:

Quote:

In a post on its Web site Tuesday, Newsbusters said the suggestion lacked any common sense and amounted to "moral repugnance."

"Just so Fox is clear about the people whom they've given soapboxes, Geraldo and the Judge are apparently unconvinced by physics, common sense, and the simple human decency of their elected officials," wrote Newsbuster's Lachlan Markay.

The simple human decency of their elected officials. I don't think I've ever read a more unintentionally hilarious statement.

lol. Fox aired 9/11 a year before it happened. I guess I'm on the conspiracy side.

I'm on the conspiracy side too.

I think it is possible that things happened exactly has everyone explained it. It is possible.

But it doesn't sound probable, to me. I think they should at least investigate it more objectively than they have.

It seems to me like they have ruled out murder suspects without a full investigation. It's akin to saying, "Well, Judge Jones couldn't have been the murderer. He's a judge! This is the work of a monster. It can't possibly come from an elected official!"

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Given the other obvious signs of ineptness in the Bush administration, and that they displayed somewhat the same blindness to Katrina, I find 9/11 not at all difficult to accept.

But yes, that statement made me grin, too...not laugh, because it's so obviously sad, but I got a grin.
