| It is oftentimes fascinating and simultaneously sad to watch the lengths some will go to in order to try to validate invalid, non-existent ideas, concepts and theories |
After spending a relaxing weekend--playing tennis, going to the beach, spending time with my wife and family, eating downtown, and catching up on some work around the house--I wake up this morning early to find there are some conspiracy theorists hard at work cooking up new theories and conspiracies to consume their lives and their very existences.
As I discussed in part I about some folks who just walk around aimlessly regurgitating talking points, like parrots, there appears to be a new breed of Kool Aid Chugger arriving on the scene: The Conspiracy Theorist! Like the "talking point regurgitators" (who like Kool Aid Chugging Parrots are also Cavity Nesters)sometimes they just hear something, do no study at all, then run with it. This often times ends like the Red Bull Flying Contraption contests we've all seen on YouTube.
Everything is a conspiracy, everything MUST have an ulterior motive, nobody is good (except our guy that we love) and anything person "X" does = BAD! (Person X being anybody the conspiracy theorist does not like)
LOL--these guys are a hoot.
Here's the thing about conspiracy theorists though: They are, if nothing else, entertaining to watch.
The really amusing thing to witness is when the conspiracy theorist is manipulated like a claymation "little monster", into doing the bidding of someone else. This is great.
Some of these conspiracy theorists are manipulated by folks much smarter than they are, into believing in OUTLANDISH things like.....:
1.The Loch Ness Monster esxists
2. Ancient Alien Astronauts are documented on cave paintings
3. The Movie Capricorn One is based upon a True Story
4. Steve Austin was a real air force test pilot that got a rebuilt body
5. Bigfoot is Real
6. The Pleadians live on the Zeta Reticuli
7. Dragons like from Game of Thrones actually existed in ancient times on Earth
8. Racist middle schoolers invented the circle game
9. Giant Humans existed at the time of the Dinosaur
10. The Megalodon exists to this day
11. Mokele Mbembe has secretly been unleashed in the swamps of America
12. LV426 is a Real Place humans will colonize in 2179
13. etc. etc. etc.....
....Heck some of these folks will fall for anything!
HERE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT THESE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS THOUGH: Don't let yourself believe in their fantasises--otherwise you will look as foolish as they do when the windmills at which they tilt turn out not to be real...
So yes, while it is amusing to watch these folks run around exercising themselves until they are all lathered up with their mouths frothing like rabid animals--it is only amusing to a point.
A part of this spectacle quickly becomes sad.
These folks get all spun up on their hamster wheels by a few agitators and then, when these conspiracy theorists actually realize they were simply manipulated like useful tools, a certain sadness often sets in. Very sad spectacle.
I honestly feel sorry for them.

Nothing to see here... just sounds a bit like a conspiracy theorist frothing at the mouth--quite entertaining, though ;)
Please check your spelling and capitalization. Your lack of editing makes it appear as though you are the one frothing.
That aside, please expound on what the conspiracy theorists of whom you speak believe.
Chemistry, Thermal Dynamics, Pseudorandomness, Quantitative Methods in Economics, and Finite Element Method were the classes I really enjoyed and did very well in while I was in school. You guessed it! I never really did well in writing and I was somewhat bored in those classes (but not in literature, though. I loved those classes) and I know it shows in my very sloppy writing style as you have so aptly indicated. Just for you I will attempt, I will re-double my efforts to do better, Anonymous 3:01.

I think the people who are benefitting from befriending Underhill for favor actually is corruption. The one says she is a close personal friend and uses the public beach. The other has a daughter employed then helps him pass his agenda. If they are going to file complaints perhaps it is time to do likewise.
