Conspiracy Theories

[scaeagles]

I consider myself to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but more int he abstract. I beleive there is a whole hell of a lot more going on than I know, but have resigned myself to the fact that I will never know it.

But WHY do you believe that? Would you describe it as a hunch or feeling? Or do you arrive at that position by way of evidence? Would you be a) disappointed or b) relieved to discover that, by and large, the simpler explanations are usually the correct ones?

I suppose I believe that because of the vastness of the world and everything I know they keep secret (nothing specific....just military tech, etc), there have to be secret things that I can't even comprehend, and therefore there must be a conspiracy (or many conspiracies) to keep these things from me. And some of those people in charge of such things must have sinister intent.

OK, so I know this makes no logical sense. No evidence whatsoever. Just a feeling.

I wouldn't be disappointed if I found out that there were no such conspiracies. I would just believe there was a conspiracy to keep the conspiracies secret.

That sounds completely insane. But I don't feel insane. I suppose the insane never do and that's what makes them insane.
