That's me. Paid for by the GOP. Funny specially since I'm not a republican.

Good posts on this thread. Rational...logical...supported. So obviously you must be a paid agent of someone. Not surprising that these conspiracy threads all eventually lead to that accusation. Irrational arguments ending in irrational accusations. No surprise at all.

Geez, I want in on that job. That'd be friggin SWEET. :)

Some people see conspiracies everywhere because they feel scared, powerless, and insignificant. It is easier to blame a grand scheme for their suffering rather than face a reality of personal failure.

I'm reminded of a song from Dr Seuss's Horton Hears a Who.

We’re the Wickersham Brothers, we’re vigilant spotters,
Hotshot spotters of rotters and plotters!
And we’re going to save our sons and our daughters,
From YOU!
You’re a dastardly, ghastardly, schnastardly schnook,
Trying to brainwash our brains with this gobbledygook!

We know what you’re up to, pal.
You’re trying to shatter our morale.
You’re trying to stir up discontent.
And seize the reins of government.

You’re trying to throw sand in our eyes.
You’re trying to kill free enterprise.
And raise the cost of figs and dates.
And wreck our compound interest rates.
And shut our schools.
And steal our jewels.
And even change our football rules.
And take away our garden tools.
And lock us up in vestibules.
But, fortunately, we’re no fools!
