...I want to feel bad for all the "conspiracy theorists" because I believe they're ones with one or both of the following afflictions:
1)serious chemical imbalances stemming from inadequate serotonin within the synapses of the brain's hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
2)unfavorable physical characteristics, e.g. obesity and facial unattractiveness, which have made them feel marginalized and invisible their whole lives, thus they cope by developing mindsets which give them the self-satisfaction of being one of a few who can decipher all machinations of a complicated world. That is, they feel they're smarter than everyone else.
But that is why I can't bear them, it's their haughty smugness and sense of superiority when they delineate their harebrained theories.
Look, bad stuff happens because we're not infallible. There are alot of incompetent people in this world. Unfortunately, many, through serendipity, determination, calculation (a conniving person can be an awful steward) and greed, end up in vital positions of power.
9/11 happened because we had too many incompetent, irresponsible people held important positions. Businesses fail because of them. The Clippers of the NBA and Lions of the NFL suck because of them. And so on.
And to assume that snaggle-toothed boobs with multiple invaginations of blubber hanging over their Levi's will recognize this is foolish, because that would disrupt their own reality to which they've become accustomed...and comforted with.
