According to a 1999 Gallup </font>poll, about 6 percent of the population of the United States has doubts that the Apollo astronauts walked on the Moon. (Five percent had no opinion, while 89 percent believed the landings took place.)</font>

Translation:  6 percent of the population of the United States are complete idiots.  Five percent can't think, and 89 percent have reasonable intelligence.  </font>

This conclusion applies to all those other polls as well.</font>

400,000 people worked on the moon landing.  Lest we forget Occam's Razor, to subscribe to conspiracy theories is to subscribe to lunacy.  Occam's Razor states that one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.  </font>

So instead of the simple explanation that we did in fact land on the moon, conspiracy theorists breack with Occam and come up with this nonsense:  http://www.lycos.com/info/apollo-moon-landing-hoax-accusations--united-states.html</font>

The very same can be said about 911 conspiracy theorists.  They are out on a broken limb.  They have to weave a tangled web of impossibilities in order to make their theory work.  </font>

These people, when faced with direct evidence (such as plane parts at the Pentagon, witnesses testifying that it was a plane and was seen etc) will continue to spin and deny.  They won't be satisified until they can convince everyone they are right.  Even in the face of tons of evidence to the contrary.  Nuts.</font>

Bernice:   You're right.  It's a lot easier being the President when you're simply running for office.  Now that he's in, he'll have his hands full. 

Good intentions don't get the job done.  I know it's still early and he's likely to pick up steam as his term goes on.  But I doubt he'll every achieve the kind of bipartician support he's hoping for.  He's just too far to the left on important issues.

Bwild:   One has to go very deep into any conspiracy theory regarding 911.  It would be one thing if only one plane were involved, but 4?  And there are clear images that prove that flight 77 did in fact hit the Pentagon.  But conspiracy theorists want to keep the conspiracy alive so they discount the evidence.  Here's a good example:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTNRkb7AaQk&feature=related

I remain skeptable.  I agree it's fair to ask questions but if one poses those questions as conclusions, that's where I leave.  Asking me is one thing, telling me is another.  There are two sides to the story and I find the non-conspiracy explaination more credible.
