In reply to why is he nuts?, posted by christophrejmc on May 4, 2002, at 16:51:01
Even though there are other nuts "these days," he's no less nuts because of it! Many conspiracy theorists say things that could sound pretty enticing, if only there weren't so much more proof otherwise. That the U.S. needed this war to stimulate the ecomony is hardly deniable; that we attacked the World Trade Center towers ourselves is absolutely ridiculous (though we did help train the terrorists, it's not quite what he meant).
His arguments go sort of like this: Here's a picture of the Pope. And here's a picture of Ronald McDonald. They are the same person! Here is my proof: Have you ever seen them together?
But, hey, our differences of opinion make this place interesting. So to each his own. Whatever turns you on. Whatever gets you though the night. It's all right. It's all right. (Just so long as you don't promote hatred and violence, in which case I'll have to tell everyone you're the devil and get them to beat you up!) (A funny irony, get it?)
