Re: the Obama Deception

The only difference between a conspiracy theory and a legitimate claim or argument against a corrupt group of individuals is the weakness of character of the person making the complaint.

Conspirators aren't evil masterminds, they are just emotionally immature and ignorant people who have for some reason amassed some degree of influence. They are probably dumb enough to believe that their actions are justified.

If conspiracy theorists took on an educating tone instead of the melodramatic tone they do people would take them more seriously.

Most cases of corruption can just be put in terms of "Tribal morality" in which people define whatever their immediate social network does or thinks as "right" and whatever goes against that as "wrong". The tribal moralists still try to justify their behavior with metaphor ridden specious arguments, but their behavior clearly demonstates hypocrisy relative to any belief set other than tribal morality.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
