I tend to only consume honey in tea when I am sick and have no voice. And since I am already feeling like crap I couldn't give you an honest answer to that question.

The only conspiracy I see is the fact that people think there is a conspiracy at all. Mostly, there isn't one. However, taking the extreme path to a point at least gets people to consider change - unless it is PETA doing the talking.

At least we all agree that the Apollo 11 Mission was faked in a studio.

I have no idea how old you are, Disneyphile, but this is what happens when you've lived long enough to see that pendulum go back and forth, back and forth. It's the way of the world.

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.

This seems apropos.

What about chemtrails?

I know I know - they are the trails of jets that dissapate. Why then do the trails sometimes form huge cloud banks that look like oil on water rainbow effect?
