Do we NEED any more evidence??? > LOL! I have no problem seeing the site as fringe weirdness. That's what it is. But I find 2 things about the site that unnerve me. I can't explain away *all* of the claims. Those pictures of the "extra" pod under the plane are something I have no ready explanation for. Unless someone has gone to the trouble of doctoring images from every recorded version of the disaster (quite possible, but in itself quite weird) just to support a conspiracy industry on the net (which I think we all agree *does* exist), then there is "something" to these claims. I can't figure what that "something" might be though. The other thing that gives me goosebumps is that I keep hearing these same kinds of theories on the radio (albeit from a less than reputable source, namely Pacifica Radio). This stuff just gives me the creeps, kinda like a good scary horror novel or a alternate timeline story where reality has gone bad can make you feel like the very worst thing imaginable is waiting for you just around the corner. I think that is why this kind of stuff spooks me. Most of us (I imagine) like to think that our government is basically OK and that at the worst we only have to wait for a change of administrations for things to improve to our liking. Probably most of us feel like we have a healthy and rational balance of trust/mistrust for the machinery of government that works behind the scenes doing things we never have to consciously consider. So sometimes after reading one of these websites, and listening to talk radio, and reading some of The Fools posts, I'll think about what it would be like if the rug of reality were suddenly jerked from under our feet. Conspiracy theories are a form of guilty pleasure, but they are made almost plausible by some of the dirty deeds that are known for certain to have been perpetrated by our government. (Medical experiments on the retarded or unwary Frex) Another part of the fun is playing the skeptic after enjoying playing with the scary idea. But I greatly prefer being able to ferret out some explanation that resembles rationality, but with this kind of stuff I'm not connecting the dots to my own satisfaction. xponent It Was A Dark And Stormy Night Maru rob
