Conspiracy Corner
The Alien Interview
It's been a long time since anything got tossed into Conspiracy Corner. This wasn't for lack of conspiracies, but my lack of motivation in writing about them. Actual, no-tinfoil-on-the-noggin conspiracies are commonplace whenever people group up and decide to do almost anything worth doing. For a long time, I, like most people I think, was under the impression that this alone meant nefarious things were afoot. As I've grown older, I've come to realize they're probably doing things in secret because they didn't want a bunch of screaming idiots bothering them and mucking things up. The more important the things they're working on, the more need to keep things from morons, basically. Great things rarely get done by large groups of people.
Why I Love Conspiracy Nuts
I've admitted it before: I collect conspiracies and conspiracy nuts like some people collect baseball cards, antiques, or syphilis. The reason is very simple: I'd rather read a hundred guys like this guy and have 89 of them be delusional lunatics with no appreciable sense of reality than have only the loosely rewritten press releases that substitute for news these days to figure out what the hell's going on. I say let the damn dogs out. Let 'em out and let 'em run wild. That's freedom, baby.Did Aliens Save Earth in 1908?
I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories. I collect them like some people collect hats or baseball cards or heroin. In an increasingly complex, technological, and integrated (in a holistic sense) world we live in, it's easy to get confused, rattled, and damn right scared shitless. Paranoia, after all, is only pathological if there really is nobody out to get you. Unless you live in a Saddam Hole someplace or never, EVER piss anyone off, chances are someone's out gunning for you somewhere, somehow, RIGHT NOW. I personally get so many death threats that I've started an Access database. Always be organized, that's my motto.
