I know our government is crooked. Not some sort of “get all the people in a room and figure out how we can screw the world over to our benefit” kind of crooked. More like, here’s a bunch of money for your campaign, now help me out” kind of crooked.

I would love to find out that there was some sort of conspiracy in our Federal government… then we could impeach all of them and start over….

BUT…

You have to be idiot to believe any of the points brought out by conspiracy theorist about the 911 tragedy. If they could find ONE solid piece of evidence that could not be refuted by someone who actually knows what they’re talking about, I’d jump on the bandwagon. But their theories… and their explanations of those theories… are so far-fetched and out in left field that it boggles the imagination.

Our governement can’t balance a budget, provide us with affordable health care, or kill one man hiding in a cave… and you guys think they can pull off the “911 conspiracy” and get away with it?? There would have to be thousands of people invloved… all keeping quiet. Come on people. Get a life.

As far as the building’s collapse goes… I’ve seen plenty of proof that the crash and resulting fire COULD cause the collapse, but I haven’t seen any PROOF that it was caused any other way.

For example: Plumes of smoke (dust) coming out of holes as the building collapsed is not evidence of explosives… rather it’s evidence that the inside of the structure was collapsing faster than the outside, forcing dust out of the holes. (Also causing the building to drop straight down… alomst like a free-fall. After all, the inside of the WTC’s was 95% air.

And a steel building never has never collapsed due to fire… HA! Some actually have partially collapsed, but you don’t hear the conspiracy theorists mention those. It’s always, “NO steel building has ever collapsed due to fire.” How many buildings have been hit by 747′s flying at 500 mph?? How many of the buildings that didn’t collapse due to fire were 110 stories high, built with a “tube inside a tube” constuction??
You can’t compare apples to automobiles. (They aren’t even trying to compare apples to oranges, that would be to close.)

Give it a rest people. I hear nothing but plausible explanations from the 911 myth debunkers, and from the conspiracy theorists? … A bunch of repeated BS that has already been disproven. And the fact that they continuously use statements taken out of context, and stupid theories that don’t hold water… and even after they get debunked they keep repeating the same old rhetoric… just goes to show you. Sucker born every minute.
