					<description>Pete IVDL,

The thing that pisses me off is the actual conspiracies being visited on us to the thundering indifference of the media. Dick Cheney's energy task force was an actual conspiracy, for Lobster's sake.  The theft of Ohio in '04 and Florida in '00 were both conspiracies, carefully crafted and very broad based.  The list of actual conspiracies against the civil body politic by various interests is mind-numbing.

The biggest failing of the Twin Towers conspiracy theories, at least the ones I'm aware of, is that airliners loaded with fuel did hit those towers and were what caused them to accordian and collapse.  I knew they were coming down as soon as I saw the second hit and understood what had happened.  I think anyone with any knowledge of construction knew, and knew how violent the accordian collapses would be.  The only thing I didn't have a sense of was how long it would take for the collapse to begin, but I knew it would not be all that long a time.  I told my sweetie and my sister they would come down.  

I thought the second airliner was an emergency helicopter circling when I first saw it.  Then I watched it for all practical purposes bisect whatever floor that was.  If it had been a 747, I think the accordian collapse would have been almost immediate.

The morons in the White House didn't want 9/11, but they  were salivating over the idea of some sort of catastrophe that would unleash them to pursue their Project for a New American Century, and the ways they did exploit 9/11 were and are criminal.  They are horrible excuses for human beings.</description>

					<description>Thanks, David, I hadn't seen that rebuttal before. I must admit, the untouched footage I saw was definitely puzzling, even if it didn't meet all the claims made by the producer. I don't think Ernest Partridge can have been looking at the same materials shown on the program I saw. Hmmm. Maybe there's more footage around than was actually taken on the day? Naaaah, that'd never happen in the Yoonited States of Merrika, would it?

That's the great thing about conspiracy theories, isn't it - there's just so many to choose from!</description>

					<description>Pete IVDL,

Was Murray able to forward you the link to the article A Skeptic's View?  Leave a Response wasn't working when I came across the article, which effectively punches the same holes in the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories that I saw as soon as I came across a couple of them.  Here it is just in case.

The article goes well with Maker's Mark (or Tetley's Pub Ale).</description>

					<description>No curfew, a gaggle of really interesting smartasses, and as welcoming a host as one could ever hope for.  

Almost heaven, Grouseland Pennsylvania, 'bandoned tunnels, Murray's hospitality...(Croon us from the great beyond, John Denver.)</description>

					<description>Adam, I have to say it again - this is a very funny post! I'm really looking forward to your book! I don't know how these things work, but if you get an opportunity to do the book on tape (CD?), please do.</description>

					<description>Oh, dear. Must lower others' expectations immediately---chances of my actually getting in shape by September are dwindlingly small. But I do promise to be a smartass!</description>

					<description>Cooper,

That's a wonderful story.  Damned shame the goats are so restrained and contained now, but I guess it's for the safety of the goats.  Cheese, fudge, and the sheer pleasure of wandering (well, being led) through a great old house while contemplating Sandburg. Helps one forget for a moment  that the area is being overrun with golf courses.</description>

					<description>Oh dear... Sounds like we may need night patrols at Felberpalooza. I can't begin to imagine the content and levels of the whispers after "lights out". Assuming there will be such a decree. Somehow, I don't think 24 hours will be enough time to get 1% off our respective chests. Just like when we wuz kids.
Hey, maybe we can organis(z)e a Gitmo fancy dress event. Now, where's that roll of orange organza...</description>
