Of course people can be corrupt. Maybe if we're playing a definition game on that level it's helpful to be clear on what is meant by conspiracy. Cooperating with someone in planning to break the law is technically conspiracy. By that definition, there are thousands of conspiracies forming and executing every hour across the world. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about GWB and Bin Laden being golf buddies because his relatives fled US public persecution after 9/11, which anyone with a preservation instinct would have done. I'm talking about people who think that Jews/Illuminati/Underground Reptilian Aliens control the Earth.

Are we all getting fucked by the international banking system? Yeah. Anybody who has bothered to look into non-secret, if sometimes technical, facts knows that. It's nothing to get all saucer-eyed about.

I got a $10 bill for whoever is reading this that before you plant yourself on your death bed you will do something that someone, somewhere would classify as corrupt. Once again, if your position really had strength your best defense wouldn't be against an argument that I never made.

As for you mfqr, you got me. The jig is up. I was really pullin the wool until you showed up.
