They try to make it so that the belief in conspiracy makes you somehow outside the norm, that you're a kook, that you're a conspiracy buff. Here's what I think: Do I believe in conspiracies? Nah. Do I believe powerful people would get together and plan for certain outcomes? Nah. Do I believe powerful interests would operate outside the law, and maybe even kill people? Nah. Do I believe secret agency governments might feel the need to assassinate a person and cover it up? Nah. I think everything in America is open and clean and above board, and powerful people always play by the rules.
