*sigh*
Ustwo, first of all, I do not HAVE provable evidence that that is false. I am, however, able to draw a logical conclusion that it is not. However, let's look at this from another perspective. While most conspiracy theories seem completely absurd, how many might have some basis in reality. Especially the technology related ones. I doubt you can build a "free energy" UFO for personal transport... but I wonder how many people also think a personal jetpack is a complete falacy. I mean, you certainly can't go to Wal-mart and pick one up, but in all factuality they've been built. Hell, they flew them around the stadium during the half time of Super Bowl I. But alas, less informed Americans (and others) would probably look at you with a hint of suspicion if you just said "Personal jetpacks are something that can be built." Why is that? Well, partially it's the WYSIWYG concept that is prevelant in this generation. People assume, with all of the wonderous technology that appears new to consumers each year, that we MUST be seeing all of the incredible wonders science can offer us. My fellow military folk here can attest, most likely, that this is not the case. Hell, if you talked about "sound weapons" and "military lasers" in the 60s in any serious fashion (and not in the defense biz) you'd have been assumed to be reading too many comic books. The point? You never know what is ACTUALLY available. You also never know what ACTUALLY is happening under a deep corruption.
Back on topic, if Bush is, in fact, innocent of crimes against the American people, then why does the administration try so hard to foil discovery attempts made by other branches of the government? I don't recall executive power being used to prevent the courts from finding the William Jefferson Clinton wasa filanderer. Sure, he didn't come out and admit it right away... but he also didn't form cabinet level positions and teams of people to PREVENT such information from being found. And for him it wasn't something that really AFFECTED the American public. Cover ups are certainly nothing new to the government. Hell, watergate was pretty big... but that was then and this is now? I still don't see why you believe this to be so ridiculous. I can understand fine-lining it, but the outright assumption that it is not the case seems a bit silly to me.
Also, I think comparing real world events with a letter from some random person is a bit off keel as well. It's not like I came here with a million and one reasons why Bush is an alien or something as such. I linked articles (and could link more... CNN last week ran stories about the Diebold voting machines registering votes from as early as two weeks before elections and as late as midnight... it was chalked up to "computer error" by the manufacturer. I've worked with computers for a LOONG time... once in a while a single computer making a timestamp error COULD occur... but multiple times across multiple systems... it takes more than poorly written software.) and gave a valid, plausible argument. So far nobody has made any REAL attempts to argue against it. I've mostly just seen attacks on the theory as to debunk it by comparing it to pop-culture funny stories. *shrug* Why is that?
Charlatan, so far, has been the most reasonable voice. He hasn't outright agreed with it (and I'm not ehre to "convince" people either). But he can also at least make comparisons to other real world events, and not ridiculous stories from a site that was meant to mock them. Honeslty, Ustwo, I'm a bit disappointed... usually I enjoy reading your arguments whether I'm on the same side of the fence or not... guess your heart just isn't in it this time.
