Of course you're right, it's all nonsense. George Bush is both intelligent and honorable, no Government would ever lie to the people, Telstra makes life easier, Nortons will keep your PC safe, Australian Idol is full of talent. We should eradicate all these loonies who question anything authority tells us.
No, I really believe George Bush is an idiot, the government does lie and obfuscate, Haliburton did profit enourmously from the war in Iraq, the US probably doctored the evidence about WMD etc.. these are all great stories that should be investigated to the hilt. I don't think anyone who questions stuff like this is a loony. But the minute people make the leap from general government corruption to huge conspiracy theories (where the vast majority of evidence points to another simpler rational explanation, and the conspiracy theory isn't really backed by much evidence at all) - that's when I put them into the loony basket. But you know, if people can come up with scientific reasons showing why the buildings must have been blown up by other methods, they should submit it to some structural engineering journal and they can have a debate with some experts.. convince the experts and then I'm willing to give it a bit of credence (you could write everything I know about the behaviour of steel under load at high temperatures on a tiny little postit note, so who am I to question people who actually do this stuff for a living?)
