Conspiracy

So the other day they had on the History Channel (no, it is not just History, its the History Channel, salt is not a modern marvel and Ice Road Truckers should be on the Discovery Channel) they had a show about 9/11 conspiracies. It was interesting to watch. Someone would come on and swear that there was no possible way an aircraft could crash in a certain manner or it is impossible for a building to fall in such a manner. Then someone who knew what they were talking about would come on (aero engineers, structural engineers, demolition experts) and would explain how things worked in the real world.

The best part is when they tried to say the whole thing was a government conspiracy. Then one of the experts came on and was talking about the myth of the hyper-competent government. Then I had a great idea to do away with these foolish theories. Make all the people who thing it was a big government cover up work for the government for about a month. Then they will come to realize the government can't pull it off. It will work itself out.
