Gray Matter, have I told you lately that I love you?

Why is it, exactly, that the Internet seems to feed the conspiracist "bent"?

Hey, back at ya! Good question... I suppose the internet gives just about any of us with a computer, video recorder and too many bong hits to plot out this sort of stuff.

Did you know that Blue Man Group was conceived in a college dorm?

[birdgirl73]

No, I didn't know that. But I'm glad to find it out now! I love the Blue Men. They're fascinating and sorta creepy at the same time. Creepy in a good way.

Wasn't DOS sorta worked out in the same way--Bill Gates as a Harvard student just fiddling around?

I'm pretty sure he stole everything from IBM and Digital. I know he stole Windows from IBM's scrapped OS2 OS. Now he's the richest philanthropist in history... I love this country!

Well fuck it...but to those who have watched it what do you think about them convenient coincidences with these terrorist attacks.....is it a fluk in the space/time continuum or something...

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."
Sir Winston Churchill

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."
Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

"The ruling class has the schools and press under its thumb. This enables it to sway the emotions of the masses."

This is a great place, isn't it?? Amazing!

What else did people steal that I don't know about?

[graymatter]

Hey, Eg420, I'm not trying to disrespect you. Your point about the space/time continuum is apt, however. I don't believe that human nature needs a maniacal historical plot in order to create mayhem or to seek control and dominance. Each generation is capable of producing its own tyrants and liberators... Peace!

Sir Winston Churchill

I don't know, but check the fridge... people I know tend to take things from my refrigerator.
