hostility and anger.

Of course it won't change the minds of the believers, but it'll help prevent
them from planting misinformation in other people's heads.

I met one of the lunatics and was forced to listen to him revel me and a few
others with tales of conspiracy, while waiting for my oil change to be done.

It was amazing, as he gave all of the reasons why this had taken place, to a
couple people more gullible than me that made the mistake of acting interested.

I attempted to ask him about one point in his argument, and asked him if a more
logical reason could be the cause, which he ignored and started spouting
something else. I gave up, and remained quite until he left, at which time I
proceeded to tell the other people that he was crazy as hell, and gave the
complete and logical counter arguments to several of his points.

Right before he left, he said something like, Yeah, and some people still
believe that we really landed on the moon, too.

Wow. I mean, WOW ! ! ! I had always read about people like him, but I had no
idea that they were that stupid in person.

I came home all worked up, and told my wife all about him. She laughed her ass
off. g

The History Channel didn't even try to be objective about it. They just
kept blasting away at the theories. On the Loose Change forums, though, of
course you can learn how the History Channel experts are involved in the
conspiracy.

Do you remember the name of the show? I'll have to try and catch it.

I think it was "9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction"

The fruitcake conspiracy theory kids are at http://www.loosechange911.com/ .
As somebody else said, they have to keep revising their story when their
theories are shot down. They're all mid-20s and probably went to college,
you know, so they know everything and everybody else doesn't.

autopsies were fake and the moon landings were real - where does this
end!!!!!!

AND -- they all probably majored in "sciences" like sociology,
psychology, political science, etc. and now call themselves "scientists."

Yup. most of the degrees they claim to be on their 'side' happen to be
theologians and such like

Gattman One of the theories they suggested but didn't fully nuke
Gattman was the assertion that a licensed pilot with 250 hours
Gattman couldn't have flown a jet into the Pentagon.

I have around 800 hours as a PP-ASEL. No IFR ticket. Most of my time
in Cessnas, Cubs, and an Aircoupe. Most advanced airplane I've logged
time in is 30 hours in a C-182.

I posted here before about this, but will post the relevant part
again: a few months ago I had an opportunity to "fly" a full-motion
DC-10 simulator for about 6 hours (including short breaks), shared
with 2 other guys, so maybe 3 hours in either front seat and an hour
or more in the 3rd seat (flight engineer). We were all VFR guys. The
instructor ran us through take-off, manuvering, and landing, both
hand-flying and by the book which involves mostly setting the
autopilot and associated buttons, knobs, dials, and bugs.

The bottom line: we all could take-off and fly the thing after an hour
or two. Landing wasn't a big deal either. The reality is that with
no emergencies to bother with it was not hugely more difficult to
manuever than, say, my little Aircoupe. Being a computer nerd type
helps. So could a pilot with 250 flight hours and 10-20 hours in a
full-motion sim, and a death wish, fly a commercial jet into the
Pentagon? You bet.
