I become so much in wonderment about how and why a small number of us become so believing in conspiracy theories that I spent several hours researching the subject. I never buy into the government is out to get me theory, yet I have friends that believe a few and I know some folks that seem to favor really wacked out conspiracies over obvious fact. WHY???? Is it just one more form of chemical imbalance like anxiety or depression? I found many explanations, but this link seemed to explain it in the simplest terms. I am open to the possibility that ALL conspiracies are true and I am the one missing the boat.
