Paranoia

My greatest fears are the the USA would use its might to wrongfully invade a country that posed no threat; or that our government would manipulate the economy in adventures that would put the world economy at risk, or both. And the disasters that would naturally follow.



I have no fear about any conspiracies to take down towers, because if it is a conspiracy, then I cannot know about it, nor do anything about it. It has nothing to do with me. If there was such a plan, it would have to be a conspiracy, because everyone would say "no."

On the other hand, my worst fears have come true. There is such a war and the economy is in trouble. There is no part of either that was secret. Certainly there was obfuscation, but anyone who cared could see what was going on, and there were plenty of people making clear warnings and explanations. Total transparency in both instances, every step of the way; nonetheless the vast majority, and certainly both political parties, said "yes."

Why worry about conspiracies when the plain facts are dreadful?
