6. I think the folks who hang out in the election 2004 forum are the
lunatic fringe, and the rest of DU is the lunatic mainstream...

16. with all we now know about how our government operates . . .
particulary under BushCo, I'm amazed that anyone can still dismiss ANYTHING as a conspiracy theory . . . where there's smoke there's generally fire, and a conspiracy theory ceases to be theoretical when there is, in fact, a conspiracy present . . . and if there's one thing we can be sure of, it's that our government (particularly under BushCo) is just crawling with conspiracies of all manner, from covering up 9/11 to the effects of depleted uranium weapons to election fraud to whatever . . . any time someone calls me a conspiracy theorist, I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track to the truth . . .

17. It depends on the theory...
If it's not suppported by any evidence (and is, in fact, refuted by the available evidence), it's just another :tinfoilhat: conspiracy theory IMHO.

18. Only someone from Madison would WANT to be called a lunatic.
It is poetic however.
