I've never met a conspiracy theory that wasn't cut to shreds by Occam's Razor.

I believe the Swifties, for I have not heard they have been refuted on any point of fact. And nobody remembers processing Kerry's Purple Heart citations, either.

Dana, just where do you come off sneering and smartassing? Have you ever lived in a totalitarian society, sister? I have. I didn't like it, and count myself fortunate that I had the option to quit. The lesson it taught me was that while there are places for totalitarian organizations within a society -- armies, whose totalitarian organization permits them to function even when heavily damaged -- that it is absolutely no way to organize a nation that's worth living in.

Too many people around here have never even tried to discover this for themselves. The least you could bloody do is reread 1984.
