See-Oh-Enn Spiracy
For the record, I love reading about conspiracies. Government mind control, Nazi occult UFO super-weapons, secret societies, cover-ups, and all that.
I don't necessarily believe them. But I think that somewhere in the spectrum of craziness are nuggets of truth here and there. Heck, some people probably still are unaware of the MK Ultra experiments.
And some of it so darn wacky that it's just plain fun to read about.
All that being said, I think there's a danger with getting so involved with these things that it creates a paranoiac religion. In a world that's largely indifferent, I think it gives some individuals a sense of importance, because the government is lying to ME. It gives the person a framework large enough to encompass an international tragedy like Japan.
I think it can become terribly unhealthy; be aware, be active, but don't let second-guessing current events and government poison your life. Because hell, if you really believe all that, they're doing enough of that already!
