Yes, motherwell you don't want to ask big, scary and crucial questions about 9/11. That's fine. But no amount of ridicule will stop those who do want to ask those questions and have them answered from asking them. Eventually, they will have to be answered. The saying goes that these kinds of questions are at first ridiculed, then acccepted as plausible and finally seen as the norm. You're in denial, a classic response to disturbing information. What does all of this say about the media and the government? Well, it says some pretty frightening things but that's no reason to hold your ears and say la, la la or to mock and smear those who have more courage than you do. The inconsistencies,the lies, the coverups speak more eloquently than any individual could. In some cases the claims made by the Bush Administration about 9/11 are so ridiculous they're surreal but you choose not to look at that and instead to paint those who can see the lies, the inconsistencies and the coverups as the absurdists. That's how you maintain your denial. As is your right: but increasingly you will belong to a minority and may already. The fact is that people who are capable of sending weaponised anthrax to senators through the mail (anthrax from a CIA biological warfare facility) are more than capable of killing their own people some other way if it suits other political purposes.The Bush Administration is a morals free zone, and stupid like a fox when it comes to getting what it wants. If they're not held accountable in a court of law they way Milosovich was your democracy will go down the toilet. Get angry about that.
