| OK, I figure now that you detractors have had your fun, I'll offer up the other side of the story.
Why am I inclined to believe that conspiracies exist? Well, quite simply, I think it would be stupid to think otherwise. When talking about governmnet conspiracy, it's simlpe odds, and the law of averages. One would certainly be inclined to think that a governing body could get some things right occasionally, but when you look at the track record of all recent legislation, you see it's all negative when viewed from a certain perspective, and that would be from the libertarian perspective. That perspective is imporatnt because it was that ideology that created this free society.
I see conspiracies all around me including a few off the top of my head, which have mostly been discussed here.
I would say a conspiracy exists where certain people work to prevent gays from being able to legally marry.
I'd say there was also a conspiracy to keep gays out of the Boy Scouts.
I see a conspiracy to keep gays from being able to serve openly in the US military.
Anybody doubt any of those conspiracies?
I see a conspiracy to exploit cheap labor wherever it exists.
I see a conspiracy to exploit the Third Worlds resources.
I see a conspiracy to keep Third Party candidates out of the debates, and marginalized to the point of unelectability.
I see a conspiracy to keep certain drugs illegal to all but a few entities, so that only licensed manufacturers can profit from distributing "illegal" substances.
I see a conspiracy to defraud Americans through the Federal Reserve.
I see a conspiracy to concentrate power in the Executive branch of government.
I see a conspiracy where virtually every person who sits on the Board of Directors for virtually every Fortune 500 company also sits on another Board of some other major financial force. Many of those same people are appointed by the new President each election cycle to sit on the Council on Foreign Relations, and also The World Bank, and other NGO's ( Non Governmental Organization ) that end up creating legislation, or policy that pertains to doing business with foreign entities. ( Instead of Congress creating these laws the legal way )
Conspiracies abound, you just have to be willing to look beyond the nightly news. |
