Paranoid militia groups probably have similar beliefs. Black government helicopters aren't coming to get Safire, Hunt or anyone else. And it's hysterical to believe they are. George W. Bush can be trusted with the war powers act to hold military tribunals within the spirit of the American constitution. Unless he does something to warrant this level of fear, it's simply an invented state of mind.

When one is imbued with the honorable sense to try and correct a perceived wrong, morality does not require majority. It requires only allegiance to conscience. No matter how much the USA is trashed, those remarks in defense of some voluble "conspiracy theorists" on normal human rights shows who's carrying the torch of freedom and humanity. It ain't the Brits, it's some USA citizens who sense to perceive what's right and wrong is better then ours. Conspiracies don't exist? Try conspiracies are 95% the norm. Think of anything significant you have ever done in your life. If you don't see one, someone is being smart that's all.

Because they are almost certainly wrong and if one doesn't want to be the same as everyone else, then one has to do things differently. Being a sheep is inherently unappealing so when the feeling of being in a herd of sheep develops, I figure the abattoir can't be far away. We the Sheeple, Mqurice
