Last night I watched most of The History Channel's 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact Or Fiction. It's really good, I recommend catching a rebroadcast if you can.

It's really interesting, I think, that there are so many 9/11 conspiracy theories out there when not one of the theories stands up to the slightest scrutiny. The History Channel's program makes that pretty clear, with testimony from experts in this or that field. Not that the testimony is really necessary; a lot of this is just common sense.

I wonder how many nutroot comments I'll get from the previous remarks, by the way.

And I've noticed something else ... have you ever noticed that many conspiracy theorists, maybe most of them, are atheists? I have a pet theory about that. I think that they might realize deep down that there really is something huge controlling everything ... but since they reject the idea of God they believe instead in some gigantic, all-powerful, hyper-present and totally competent government.

It's really kinda funny.
