I have a bedtime "fairy tale" to tell you guys...
I was just listening to the Randi Rhodes show on AirAmerika. (Boredom made me crazy)..
Anyway...Once upon a time in Randi's world, George Bush and Osamba Bin Ladin are spoiled little rich boys...both of them secular...until they decided that they wanted to take over the world...
So..George became a fundamentalist Christian...and Osama pretended to be a fundamentalist Islam...now, according to Randi, these are "THE two great religions in the world"..the rest are just little side religions like Hindu, shinto...(no mention of the Jewish religion)...
Any way, these two spoiled rich boys are fighting for the world's wealth in oil, by having FUN making a world war between the two great religions...and pitting one against the other...
George Bush sent in the contractors to Iraq to "create havoc"..and cause trouble in an otherwise "normal" country...so that Bush could send in the American troops to guard the oil...until the "paid contractors" could kill all the Iraqis and get their oil..
Osama is using the Muslims...and "tricking them"...because, again according to Randi Rhodes, "Muslims don't kill other Muslims"....so Osama has to TRICK them into thinking this is a Crusade by Bush...and of course Bush is playing the part by always including a prayer in his speeches..
TO BE CONTINUED......
Sounds like something my former best friend would believe. I tend to be a very skeptical person. Rachel, however, would believe ANY conspiracy theory that she heard. (Examples: 9/11 was an inside job? Absolutely! Man never walked on the moon? Darn right!) I never understood it. Conspiracy theories are illogical and irrational. It's beyond my comprehension that someone can be so willing to believe that the entire world is out to lie to her and confuse her. But she's sooo smart cuz she's figured it all out. It's so stupid.
