Ray > I've introduced this image and other very troubling evidence on other threads, and much to my surprise I'm getting what appeared to liberal thinkers to absolutely refuse to believe their own eyes in their timid and comforting desire to trust the official story. The implications that the U.S. government has been hijacked by a tiny and extremist criminal cabal is too much for most people to deal with. One can understand that and, indeed, sympathize with those people because their whole world-view will turn upside-down if they believe what they see. Therefore, it's far easier to deny it and, moreover, insult the "asshole" who had the temerity to present them with that piece of "fecal" information. Actually, the situation is similar that that where an individual is diagnosed with cancer or a similar life-threatening disease. The initial response with the great majority is not to believe it, not to accept it, say that the medic doesn't know what he's talking about and, in fact, get angry should the next-of-kin attempt to raise the subject. But that is only the initial response. Eventually, many, perhaps most, will address the reality of the situation in the best way they are able. Therefore one would imagine that that will also happen with "9/11 deniers". The truth will out.

RE: "much to my surprise I'm getting what appeared to (be) liberal thinkers to absolutely refuse to believe their own eyes in their timid and comforting desire to trust the official story." I was chatting with a neighbor the other day and briefly got on the topic of 9/11. I started rattling off a laundry list of facts that tie Bush and PNAC to the attacks. After about a minute or so he said, "Stop, you're scaring me.". I said something to the effect of, "Yeah, it scares me too.", and changed the subject. The pure terror people experience when presented with the facts and evidence surrounding 9/11 is very real. Those 9/11 researchers putting up web sites, and openly discussing the facts and evidence, are those who have faced that fear and found a way to get to the other side of it. As close as I can tell, being a "liberal thinker" has very little to do with being able to face reality head on. Being able to think outside the box may be part of it, but I suspect it has to do more with the kind of moral character required of those with the ability to run into a burning building to rescue a child. That might explain why one of the earliest comments on the 9/11 investigation, calling it a "half baked farce" came from a fireman. It might also explain the strategy behind luring as many firemen as possible into the buildings before they were demolished. Or even the reasoning behind commissioning the Naudet brothers, to make a propaganda film about firemen, which endorses the official story. Even among the 9/11 research community, there are many who strike me as being rather weak minded. Perhaps the acid test should be; whenever someone says, "I believe 9/11 was an inside job.", ask that person if they own a gun. IMO, 9/11 researchers should be spending a lot more time working with the NRA, and a lot less time working with Green Peace. Armies of quacking ducks do not decide history.
