I'd call the majority of humanity "theorists" about something, usually involving politics. Recently, magically poofing all the guns away. Unless we had a race of robots like GORT from the day the earth stood still forcing people to behave themselves, banning guns in America would raise the rate of gun murder dramatically.

I'm convinced that's a money making market cornering scheme. Being carried out by butthole conservative intrests.

Conspiracy "theorists" are morons. They are like religious people - they have some aversion against accepting reality for what it is.



It's a little surprising to read that you don't think the government conspires behind the public's back.

I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, because their oppression isn't really in the hidden. Their lies are obvious.

  Shhhhh!  That's because Lit is part of the secret Illuminati government that is the REAL power behind every world event.   :tinfoil:
