Brute,

Don’t be silly. Of course not everything is a government conspiracy. On the other hand, not everything the government and their learned “experts” hold out to the public is the gospel truth either ---- otherwise we wouldn’t be sitting in the middle of Iraq with no WMD, tortured prisoners, and an American public wondering what surprise is coming next and “how are we going to fix this mess?” (hopefully a familiar refrain by now). As I have held up my end of this “wolf discussion”, the main tenet I’ve been holding out to y’all is asking for is a little less blind (read naïve) trust in the feds and a little more well deserved skepticism as to their ability to read the future and handle events.
