You are correct skacorica. Your logical thesis is right on. Those Prison Planet people are a bunch of morons. That said, the Popular Mechanics article was very one sided. I realize its point is to refute the conspiracy theories. But some of them are so ridiculous it isn't worth the time to refute them. The only people who would believe them are complete and utter morons. But the Bushite claims about the Iraq War, terrorism, and national security has almost as many silly theories. While the president is now saying that Iraq had nothing to do with 911, his vice president, a primary architect of the war, is still going around telling people that they did. Equally moronic. Which brings up another logical point.
Just because both A and B = D doesn't mean C = D. Nor does it mean that either A or B = C. Yet morons in both A and B categories continue to make one of those claims every day. And if you don't join them then you obviously equal D.
