How does one prove a negative?

What FACT, non rumor or opinion or witchcraft or trying to be lounder than the next man would lead anyone to beleive it was an act of terrorism, TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER THEORIES.

The real problem here at FR is not anything more than an incredible level of uncritical thinking. People who blame the government as uncaring and unthinking demonstrate they have no ability to conduct a critical debate themselves.

Once FR occasionally reported on Whackos, Now this place has become a place where every anti-government whacko screams through their internet megaphone. Each tries to out do the other. People are either taking pride in circulating childish rumors, or they don't know these are nothing but senseless rumors and preconceptions, which is worse.

During the Clinton times, there were a lot of smart people here. Most have gone because of the preponderance of illogical, uncritical thought. Where once Michael RIvero was a laughed at, now resides a cadre of people who think he was too calm in his beleifs!Remember, being conservative doesn't mean you have to mouth stupid ant-government slogans.

Wake up. Grow up. Think!

If you're as smart as you seem to think you are, then why are you wasting your valuable time posting here?

Yes, sir. But it also means you examine critically what your government does and says. And I don't care how much you harangue, the Flt. 587 investigation isn't passing the "smell test" yet for me...and LOTS of others, including aviation and terrorism experts, not simply the fellow FReepers you seem to disdain so much now.

BRAVO ! CONGRATULATIONS ! AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll tell you one thing that you left out. Once upon a time, FREEPERS did NOT believe anything that was written in a left leaning newpaper. The Daily Snooze is a LEFTY paper!

I watch N.Y.C. local T.V. and listen to local N.Y.C. (WABC 770 ) station. The day of the plane crash, I heard the eye witnesses, LIVE ! Guess what ? NO ONE CLAIMED THAT THEY HEARD / SAW A BOMB GO OFF ! They didn't even talk about flames. I read all of the stories in the N.Y. Post , and NOT ONE eye witness is quoted as saying anything like that either. The N.Y. Post is a RIGHT WING paper ! It was and has been, all week, chock full of eye witness accounts; interviews with with people from the Rockaways .

For those people who are so convinced that this was a terrorist attack, and that the government is and shall continue to cover THAT up, I have but one question for you. WHY ? Where is the proof of that ? Think about it for a while. It would be so much BETTER, if it were a terrorist attack !

Do I have a theory ? Nope ! There certainly hasn't been enough information about any of this , for anyone to make a concise, fulsome , definnative conclusion as to what happened.
