    That is still too strong a claim.

    The key point though is back then components of Agent Orange were understood to cause cancer, and yet the health and safety of our veterans and Vietnamese citizenry was disregarded so as to sell some chemicals and starve some villagers on the way to losing a war we fought for a despicable dictator and the vestiges of a century of colonial atrocity. Seems a questionable cause to try to champion ...

      Never have bought into any pseudoscience that I recall. I suppose maybe cultural ones like the Bermuda Triangle and Bigfoot at some point when I was young, but not when I was old enough to know better.

      Conspiracy theories? Not with any certainty, no. But I guess I hold out the strong possibility for some. I am particularly open to the idea that Oswald didn't act alone in killing Kennedy, and that the Mafia put him up to it. Also, that there were likely armaments in the hold of the Lusitania when she was torpedoed.

      Then again, many CTs are less outlandish than others, as they've actually been confirmed to some degree: http://www.infowars.com/33-conspirac...n-should-know/

            I stopped reading halfway, but I wouldn't consider a lot of those conspiracy theories.

                    I still believe that the FOXNews network is clever satire. I suspect the Tea Party also intended to be satire, but was too effective at recruiting the gullible.
