Fascinating.

Let me ask you this: was FE the first conspiracy theory you came to believe in? If that was the first conspiracy theory someone presented to you, would you have believed it, or were you open to it first because you became convinced of other less crazy sounding (initially at least) theories over time?

I guess I just see how people respond to this one and I think: even if it's true, why start there? Why hammer that drum when that drum is used to discredit all these other drums and all these other drums, being easier to swallow (perhaps I should refer to them as pills) will open the mind to that great last drum?

Basically I'm asking: do you think it's wise to push the meat before the bread?

People believed that the earth was round long before space programs or the theory of evolution.

Your timeline makes no sense
