11. In one sense, a belief in the JFK & 911 CTs is harmless in that nobody
Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 01:42 AM by stopbush
who believes in them is out committing murder because their CT-of-choice has encouraged or inspired them to do so.

On the other hand, treating myth as fact can be just as deadly if not deadlier. All CTs seem to poison one's view of the world. if the JFK CTs weren't around, I doubt that the 9/11 CTs would have such a hold on certain people. How many 911 CT posts aver "our government has always lied to us" and/or "this goes back to when they killed JFK?" Again, no evidence to support the belief but a passionate belief in the CT none the less, and that belief seems to lead to an unhealthy mistrust of everything our government does (as opposed to a skeptical, healthy questioning of what our government does).
