Subject: Re: The Smoking Gun

Bernice: Yes, the article is suppositional in the same way that the objection is suppositional. The objection runs thus:

Suppose 9/11 was a U.S. government conspiracy. How, then, could so many people be kept quiet? Or, why has no one come forward?

The article then asks (again supposing for the sake of argument that 9/11 was a U.S. conspiracy), is this objection a reasonable one?

Yet, although the question itself is suppositional, nevertheless the article does provide relevant evidence to back up his assertion that such a cover-up is possible, nor is it unprecedented.

Subject: Re: The Smoking Gun

Bernice:I don't mind an investigation (another one) but the thing is, the conspiracy guys have already drawn their conclusions. They have already figured it all out. They aren't simply asking questions, they are stating things as facts and conclusions. I'm not being told to "consider this" or that but I'm being told, "believe this" or that. And what a lot of these conspiracy fold do is to pound you with a huge amount of information over and over and over again. I guess they want to wear down one's resistance or something. For me it's simple: Give me something solid. Conjecture isn't proof. Questions or doubt isn't proof. I don't just want the smoking gun, I wanna see the gun and then talk tot he guy who pulled the trigger. They have nothing but theory - all day long.

That and the fact that on the one hand they call Bush an complete idiot, and then they turn around and treat him like he's a mastermind genius when it comes to pulling off the impossible! Wow!

Oh and Obama must be in on it too. And all of congress. And on and on and on.
