That's why this is in "paranoia". Paranoia is "what if?" There doesn't have to even be true fact it is what it is and can be as silly and as serious as need be.

The problem at times unfortunately, is when one takes it seriously and "sees" the black copters..... and one says, "those are shadows" and treats it as silly.

To me, paranoia is a great "what if?" that we can allow creative juices to flow and just imagine.

I'm paranoid in some ways, conspiratorial in some ways, but that's just the way my mind works. Doesn't mean I truly believe, just means I like to pose the great "what if".

That is the real point.

Just like some fun questions for this forum could be:

How would you feel if Obama has Rev. Wright swear him in? Or has Rev. Wright, Rezco, Bill Ayres and Louis Farrakhan standing 1st row and at the inaugural ball?

If you believe in a "second secret" government that truly runs the country.... if they think Obama gets too "out there" in policies they will assassinate him? And if he is either by them or by just a nutcase will it lead to race riots?

Do you think if his presidency fails, this will hurt the chances of the next black running for president?

This presidency will inspire all kinds of great questions........ if he is as great as people believe and the Messiah Louis Farrakhan claims him to be.... then this will be a great 8 years.

If he is some puppet and truly radical this could be a most disastrous 2 years, before the GOP can get Congress back.... and IF they can.

Will he be a uniter and open to all suggestions and pick the best plans.... or will he "have something to prove" and be a divider working to destroy anyone who goes against him?

If he is a great uniter and the country becomes great again due to his programs and there is peace, will you admit you were wrong for disliking him?

If he is a divider and not what you believed him to be, will you regret electing him?

What if the nation pretty much stays as it is in his term, in your eyes did he accomplish anything?

In other words, this presidency will be either very fun to watch and the beginning of a great new period...... or a very ad tumultuous time that may cause irreparable damage.

We can prognosticate all we want, but no one here is going to truly know any outcome until it happens.
