Like Wild Fire

We've all heard them. 9/11 was allowed by the government and is proven by the way the towers fell, the Apollo moon landing never happened and was staged in order to encourage patriotism, etc. but conspiracy theories are more than they appear to be. Though they seem like a tale concocted by some clever, pretentious wiseacre that had nothing better to do, they actually have an alarming amount of evidence to support them. For example, the theory that the earth is flat at first thought seems like an absurd impossibility, but perhaps we are just convinced because we have been told by people who were sure of what they think they know, and who are we to question those who came before us? Well perhaps we should. The flat earth theory is surprisingly convincing and has some valid arguments. Assuming the earth is flat, for example, the south pole makes up the outside of the earth and the north pole is at its centre. This statement resembles a fairly poor attempt at establishing any kind of credibility for this particular theory at first, but actually is supported by the fact that no plane has ever flown in a straight line across the south pole. Maybe a while ago we would have been able to blame the conditions or climate on the lack of achievement, but with technology that we have today, compared to travelling through space, flying across the South Pole should be an easy feat, unless, of course, that is where the earth ends, in which case it is impossible and would offer an easy explanation.

Wether or not they are true however, it is undebatable that conspiracies get passed on as easily as gravy on thanksgiving. Once you have one person convinced you have everybody convinced. Especially with all the idiotic stories in the media lately, who wouldn't believe a well backed-up argument about how the U.S. government somehow caused the 2004 Tsunami? No matter what you are told, or how unreasonably stupid it is, you will consider its existence for even a little while.
