Conspiracy theories obviously have to tread a fine line. There are SO many complete idiots out there. Louis Theroux has proved that!

I think there is a need for big secrets to come out, like Bush's nasty tactics for getting elected, but these 'big secrets' are all too often discredited by being classified with real conspiracy theories.

I actually do believe that the serious nutter theories are harmful. When you look at someone like David Icke, his ideas genuinely incite hatred in his minions. People become obsessive, and start hatching ideas of how to assasinate Queen Elizabeth just because Icke says she's really an alien lizard thingy!

So there needs to be a line, and for intelligent folks like you and I the line is there by our own perceptions and sense of reason; we can see pretty clearly whose a whacko. But some people can't, and both they and their theories are dangerous.
