9/11 conspiracy

People who believe in some giant 9/11 conspiracy are usually beyond help. I pat them on the head and let them spout their garbage, but in reality I think it does considerable harm to our society and those who died. I have zero respect for the hardcore conspiracy buffs and wish they'd shut the hell up and go back to the Alex Jones whack job lives.

Why do people these bullshit conspiracies? Several reasons. They want to feel smarter and wiser than all us "sheep" and dummies who believe the "mainstream" report of what happened. Since many of us are skeptical of the government, how can we believe the official government report? Simple. It's been confirmed by hundreds of journalists and sources outside of the official 9/11 commission report.

Another reason is a much more sad reason. People have a hard time admitting that great evil exists in the world. Since they can't handle that fact, they make up excuses and reasons for things that are the result of great evil existing. They can't handle or understand that 19 homicidal zealots exist and want to give their lives in order to kill people, so they make up a conspiracy that takes away the responsibility from the perpetrators. This also works with people who agree with the views of those responsible or those sympathetic to those who are responsible. IE-I hate George Bush, so anyone who hates him must be good. The 9/11 attackers hated him. Erg. the are good. Think I'm being simplistic? Ask your nineteen your nephew who hates all things republican/conservative/American about 9/11. Same kind of thinking.
