Who here will join me in asking YA to include a new section in politics?

I think that all the 9/11 conspiracy people should be able to post their stuff in a separate section. My suggestion for a name would be "Whack Job Ideas"

    Yet another original idea that destroys the ideas of those who think 9/11 was an inside job, call them "whack jobs", or tin foil hat wearers.

    It is a good idea, for I have found that applying critical thinking, or physics, or logic, just ends up with it being an inside job.

    Best to just call them names, if that's the only ammunition you have, why not use it?

    I wonder if I'll be blocked by this wonder kid, as I have been by conspiracy buster. AM texas something or other, and I have proof blah blah.

    I really don't believe you have ever thought about 9/11, except in a sort of "thunder is God going to the bathroom", sort of way.

    You do realize, of course, that we have a solid track record in this country of faking attacks to sway public opinion, right?

    In the early 19th century, factory owners planted bombs to sway opinion against striking workers.

    Then there's the Lusitania, blown up by German subs because it was used for smuggling weapons and munitions to the Allies, which we swore wasn't the case.

    In the 60's there was a plan to stage terrorist attacks and blame them on Cuban communists, Operation Northwoods.

    There was that Pearl Harbor thing. I wonder why our aircraft carriers were out on maneuvers that day?

    There was that Gulf of Tonkin incident, where make-believe North Vietnam boats fired on US ships.

    I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions about the 9/11 attacks either, especially given all the other sneaky things the Bush administration was involved in concerning the war on Iraq.

    Yes, I'll join you if we expand that section to include question about all the other irrational accusations against Bush.
