And were you there? I didn’t think so. That makes us even. Funny how that argument cuts both ways.

The “touchiness” is nothing more than my impatience with conspiracy thinking. If you have a science education then you have little excuse for wandering in those swamps. There’s plenty of writing on the Fed and it’s origins that don’t resort to nonsense:

I will take that your comment as to ‘conspiracy thinking’ applies particularly/especially to the matter being discussed, otherwise we are to far apart as to existence of conspiracies to continue any discussion. My scientific education and related work experience were in a real world not some fantasy world of make believe that is made up of personally selected/preferred events. Just as a matter of further interest I would ask if you ever had military service.
