Thanks for noting that. True.

Also, their are and have been bona fide conspiracies, but in most cases they leave a trail of evidence that can be corroborated. In this case, we are getting rumors, hearsay, gossip, opinion and a tendency toward extreme gullibility: "I don't know, sounds right to me."

It would be fine with me if people spend their time trying to find out what color the Easter Bunny REALLY is, (I'm going with purple) but it is very dangerous and detrimental when it becomes a matter of encouraging anti-intellectualism, discrediting all science and celebrating ignorance along the way. That's a democracy killer.
