| I love it when people stumble across conspiracy threeories and suddenly feel they are so much smarter than than the kind of mere mortals they were before discovering the "enlightenment of the month" Guess what? I think being gulible enough to buy into everything one reads or sees REDUCES overall intelligence, and certainly doesn't make you superior to 99% of the population in any way whattsoever. I'm all for questioning authority, but being gullible enough to buy into some of this shit DOES NOT instantly make you smarter than everyone else, and to the contray, has the reverse effect as far as I'm concerned.

| Get real, Plains. Everybody knows that the Masons are the Illuminati's footsoldiers. (They should have a smiley for trying to keep a straight face.) The best books about the Illuminati are The Illuminatus Trilogy by Bob Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. They pull together all of the old conspiracy theories into one grand conspiracy, make fun of conspiracy theorists, are extremely funny, and very stoner-friendly. Anything by Robert Anton Wilson is going to be a good read.

| Congratulations, Yayo420: you've just been criticized for believing something other than what your fellow citizens believe. You're on your way to becoming a real conspiracy theorist! Jokes and ridicule are only the first steps, though. Pretty soon they'll whip out their big, pointy sticks of logic and try their damnedest to burst your paranoid bubble of secret societies and occult rituals. Don't say you weren't warned. But seriously: Very few can deny that there is something seriously wrong going on on this planet. With things as bad as they are, it's very easy to accept the idea that everything bad happens because some evil, mysterious government makes it happen to further their equally evil and mysterious agenda. The problem with this idea is that it creates a sense of hopelessness. You feel that nothing you do can make a positive difference because the world is in someone else's hands. It leads to a feeling of "why try if it won't matter anyway?". That sense of hopelessness mentally disarms you; it distracts you from the real threats to humanity by keeping you occupied with fictional enemies. What I'm saying is: there is real evil in the world, and yes, much of it comes from governments, big businesses, etc. But fretting over some shadowy elite with goals of world domination is not going to bring anyone any closer to making a change. The people will always out-number the governments, they can only get away with as much as we let them get away with. Don't just sit on the sidelines waiting for stormtroopers to kick down your door and put a microchip in your ass, take an active part in your government. Vote every chance you get, blog on the internet, write to government officials (the addresses are available to the public online), do whatever you can to make your voice heard. Intelligent people speaking out is the only thing that will bring about a change. Thank you to everyone who at least tried to address his concerns with understanding and civility. To everyone else: I expected better from you. This guy has an epiphany (faulty though it may be) and you mock him because you don't believe the same thing. I think Christianity is ridiculous, but I don't go out of my way to ridicule it's followers in public, especially when I'm not even offering a good reason for doing so. And if you don't have anything relevant or useful to add to the conversation, you should stay out of it: Quote:

| Well put, SI21. I'd rather see Yayo question things and think critically than sit back and allow himself to be fucked in the ass by the powers that be every single day. I have a lot more faith in people like Yayo who may be over the top at times, but thinking, than I do in people who immediately go for the tin foil hat jokes.
