Any point of view or theory can be supported by the selectively arranging certain facts together in a certain way. I do think that the government is shady, and it is a natural feeling of powelessness for us, as lowly citizens, to feel. Some people deal with this by trying to promote conspiracy theories; but to what end? Overthrow the government? I look at it like this: we are the most powerful country in the world. We have one of the best standards of living in the world. Whether or not we agree with everything that goes on, in the grand scheme of things, we must be doing something right. And if that involves faking a moon landing here and there...so be it. If you don't like how the country is being run, either step up and try to make a difference yourself in a positive way, or leave. Either way, I think that most conspiracy theorists could be much more productive with their time and energy.
