There has been another round of conspiracy theorizing over at [livejournal.com profile] anarchists. It seems like one of the most popular conspiracy theories these days (after "Jews faked the Holocaust!") is that the official story about 9-11 is...well, somewhat lacking. The Left, for obvious reasons, seems to be more willing to entertain such theories than the Right, and I am genuinely interested in knowing who among you believes what.

When it comes to conspiracy theories, and in particular to the Bush administration, I tend to go with Hanlon's Razor, "Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity," and its corollary, "Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice."



[Poll #685162]

On a related note, and this is not snark, I'm not entirely sure what a "disinfo agent" or what a "confusionist" is, although I keep running into the latter online. Are they the same as Discordians? Why do they keep showing up on [livejournal.com profile] anarchists?
And now, for your Ted Nugent Quote of the Day:
Though modern man has mostly come to depend on technical services and indulgent conveniences, the pulse of the warrior rages on—even downtown. Mother Nature can be a bitch, but we love her madly anyway. That flash of history from caveman to European to pioneer to city dude reveals a powerful force of intellect, courage, reason, and creativity that is alive and well. Leaping into the millennium on the backs of strong, uppity entrepreneurs and timeless Jeremiah Johnsons, the pecking order is accurate and in place. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Conform to this truism or perish. You get what you deserve.

Where are the parts of the plane that hit the Pentagon? Where is the fuselage? I want to see it.

It may be a sore subject for you, but I have never seen pics of a plane crash that didn't show parts of the airplane.

Big metal object hits big solid building. Shit happens. I'm not an engineer, just someone who has heard from folks who lived nearby and saw the plane as it went by, and put someone on board. They identified the remains of my client, what they could find.

You enjoy your theories, I'll just continue to live with my guilt and pain. Thanks for attempting to debate me on something when I've already indicated my discomfort with the discussion, though. You're a peach. Really.
