spent a good part of an hour this morning listening to a web site provided me that had a radio show concerning 9/11 and the other sides view on what happened. I am trying sooooooooo hard to have some level or respect for this position, and am trying with due diligence to be open about it as well, but besides there being absolutely no concrete evidence and only speculation and pure propoganda, I came away flummoxed on how a human mind can come away with these type thought processes. In a way, it is fascinating.


Agreed. The other big issue from the last Century that has spawned all sorts of speculation and hours of discussion with people having all sorts of views is the JFK assassination. The groups of people suspect range from Lee Harvey Oswald as a lone gunner, to rogue CIA operatives, to Castro in revenge for the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion. to the Mafia for RFK as attorney general coming after them when they allegedly threw the Illinois election so that Kennedy would be elected. And there may be even more that don't come into mind just now. The range of ideas on this one has been remarkable.

So perhaps it is merely a collective response to an event that is so overwhelming and has such a jarring impact on the psyche that these various ideas come up and are an attempt to put a rational explanation on the what is otherwise patently absurd and overly traumatic.

Best,
