What amazes me is how consistently those who accept everything told to them about this massacre rush to label, condemn, and name-call those who do not. On the other side I see people posting links, explaining their views, and trying to show evidence for what they are finding to be suspicious - without namecalling and insults.

Guess who I am more likely to listen to?

Here is what I want to share with you.

"Some fool once said, “The earth is round!” People shot down that conclusion without even looking at the supporting premises. “Of course it isn’t,” they shouted back. “That makes no sense!” Others tried to refute the claims. “The Earth can’t be round,” they put forth. “The ground is flat. See?” But the believer pointed out that there was a slight curve to the horizon. The world wasn’t flat. He set aside his biases and opened his mind to analyzing what he’d been told all his life. Why should he believe it? What made it true? What made it false? He asked questions and demanded proof. He examined the arguments of authorities who made sweeping statements and claims that didn’t hold water. This round-world believer didn’t just refute what others said. He brought up premises to support his own ideas. He was thinking creatively, and then he took world-changing action after critically evaluating his innovative idea.

Do some research. Each of their “claims” can be disproven in a matter of minutes. It just becomes a matter of who you believe. Like I said. You could show pics from the scene and they would find one body laying weird and trumpet that as proof. That is a sickness. Sorry. If you want to go about following that, go for it.

They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers.

But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
