My closing claim was that most of the people who think that Bush and the CIA were behind 9/11 were in fact lying to themselves. They trust a less-probable possiblity because it fits perfectly with their current emotions regarding Bush. Don't let this happen to you.

Ah, I get it... I think there was something about how that was worded that really confused me. Maybe because it was in parabol form...
Anyway... It reminds me of 1999 when we had a bunch of protesters on campus and when asked why they were protesting they all said the same things, but could really give any facts... it was kinda scary. All of that emotion, all of that action, and without any information... Of course, it wasn't much better than the college Republicans standing on the steps of the President's Hall in a pro-war rally. A veteran walked by and shook his head, "Why don't you all just join up then?"
Its good to pay attention to what your values are, why you have them, and how they affect how you look at events. Agreed.
