I do enjoy a good conspiracy theory. However, there are some parameters. Either it has to be so outlandish, so crazy, so unbelievably awesome...that it becomes unspeakably silly and therefore fun. I can't think of a good one right now, but I do love the moon landing conspiracy. I've joked for so long that I believe it...that I think I kinda do [I know, I know - SpaceCamp would be so disappointed in me]. I think I'm pretty aware of most of the major conspiracies regarding politics, celebrities, etc. - although I can't say that I buy completely into any of them. I like to take a bit of the official story, a bit of a conspiracy theory and then make up my own story. But, as someone who likes to dig, to investigate...to get out on the hunt...gaining more information [even if it's faulty] is always going to peak my interest. Sometimes even when I don't want to...
A well-known film on the subject of 9/11 is Loose Change. They have released several versions of this film, but I haven't watched it. I think it's because - while other conspiracy theories seem to be from a different era - a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. So I guess that makes them easier to digest. And while I have no personal connection to 9/11 [aside from being a human and a North American]...it was a difficult time in my life because of the connection in time to my father's death [just over two weeks before]. I was emotionally fragile, but also really angry and wanting to lash out...not to hurt people, but certainly for people to feel hurt...as I did. A lonely, confusing and all around bad time. And then...this...it was overwhelming and I instantly regretted all of my bad feelings. But, it felt close...that's what I'm trying to say.
But tonight I decided it was time and I watched Loose Change. The main thing I'm impressed with is that so many people would put so much effort into this. Overall, their conspiracy theory is not very comprehensive. They just keep suggesting things...making dots...but not finalizing or connecting things in some total way. What they are suggesting is not only unbelievable [but not in a fun way - more in a "you really can't believe this"], but it suggests that so many of the people involved are really incredibly evil. You can call me incredibly naive if you want...but I don't, can't and WON'T believe that incredible evil like that is so widespread.
