> I don't mind a healthy distrust of the government. But blind conspiracy theories and disbelief of nearly anything with seeing it all for yourself is insane and a perfect indicator of why I'm glad this is a representative republic, and not a democracy.


Um...I believe I said I didn't believe in everything I stated? I don't believe in some things I hear from the president because, frankly, I think he is a manipulative fool (so much for my neutral stance in the previous post, and no offense to any Bush supporters out there). Some things about Iraq are definitely true. However, some have no public evidence that has ever been revealed regarding them. I believe most of what I hear, I am just as manipulated as anyone else. I believe many things I hear, and many things I am told. However, why don't we question them? We believe so many things just because we are told about them by people who don't know anything more than we do about them anyway. I know this is used somewhere (not sure where), but what about George Washington? Can anyone really prove he exists? All you can go on is what other people tell you, which is what other people told them, etc. If you dig up his grave, you will find bones. Nothing that would prove he was George Washington. I'm just throwing ideas out here, I do believe George Washington existed :).
