Government is the great fiction through which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else.
Where Were You the Day Oswald Was Framed?
I know that was a loaded question, but bear with me. Do you believe the official story? Or are you one of those conspiracy theorists? Neither one sounds very good does it? Did Oswald act alone, or was he framed altogether by one of myriad powerful cabals? I frankly have no idea who shot Kennedy. My only knowledge of the JFK assassination comes from the Oliver Stone film and a couple of History channel documentaries. Given that it is Oliver Stone after all and given the ubiquity of Ancient Aliens, I'm not sure either of my two sources are reliable. I do consider myself a skeptic, which puts me in the official story camp. But, I am also a libertarian with a strong distrust of government, aligning me with many of the conspiracy theorists. So I clearly don't know what happened that day, and I am comfortable never knowing. What I do know is that conspiracies, while difficult to execute and keep secret, happen every day. Look at 911, that was a relatively large conspiracy. On the other hand there are a ton of crazy theories out there that are given the general blanket of "conspiracy". But I think attacking something as a conspiracy theory is kind of a cop out. To me, there are theories for which there is strong evidence, and theories for which there is not strong evidence. We do not need further distinction.
