Lines: 22 I've been wondering what people really think about conspiracy theories in general. Like: 1) Men work together as a united front to keep women in their place, holding regular secret meetings to discuss methods of doing this. 2) Rich people control society by causing innumerable things to happen (wars, elections, etc.) as a uniformly organized consortium that controls the world with its massive power. 3) Kennedy was shot because a number of people in the government (or the above consortium) thought that he might be a danger to them. 4) God created the world specifically to give *you* problems. Does anyone really believe that **THEY** are that organized, that competent, that intelligent as a group to actually **DO** anything????!! -- Pardon me for ... oh, never mind!! Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
