    I don’t think we’ll need to bid you goodbye any time soon.

    Americans who still think that our “leaders” of our moneyocracy had nothing to do with 911, might also still believe that the pilgrims celebrated thanksgiving with the native americans as depicted in our history books.  Its time for a wake up call America.  What a whole fleet of japanese bombers can cross the pacific completely undetected to ignite WWII?  Oswald fires two shots from different angles within seconds to kill Kennedy?  Somalia, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Grenada, Panama, Afganistan hosted by a CIA trained Bin Laden etc...And now most recently the twin towers “imploding” perfectly where they stand.  No “bought and paid for” news folks even asked the real questions.  If you look to find the truth you will find it, the problem is no one wants to really know.  So hey everyone, just sit back with your starbucks double latte, put on some “American Idiot” , and enjoy your happy meal.  Everything is going to be alright.  Power to the people!

    I think maybe Starbucks did it.

    I’m going to have to agree 100% with aArOn’s comment above.



    I recommend watching the latest 9/11 documentary which compiles hundreds of pieces of evidence discovered by many 9/11 researchers.

    If all of the conspiracy theory were true, one would have to believe that our government is not only flawed, but downright evil...and not just the current administration, but every leader for at least the last 60 years.  Doesn’t say much for the voting citizens, either.  With that in mind, I’d have to believe that Aaron and Emanuel either don’t live in the U.S. or they’re leaving this horrible place soon.  Bon voyage.

    Oh Carrie, Im very patriotic and a realist.  Power belongs to the people not the money machine and the special interest groups.  If you were to be shown the truth would you believe it? Where do you find your truth? The Today Show?  And more importantly do you really want to know Carrie?  I question therefore I dont belong here (America) is that correct?  What style of Government does that sound like?  Maybe America should round up us “free thinkers” and put us in camps like we did to the Japanese back in WWII, it sure worked for them.  Im actually very jealous of you Carrie.  I wish my world was really that black and white, filled with nothing but fluffy clouds and strawberry fields.  Enjoy the double latte.

    Easy now you two or you’ll get a timeout <img src="http://jackbaty.dev/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;"> I’ve known both of you for at least 20 years, and I’d hate to see my friends calling each other names. The rules here are that it’s okay to address ideas, but it’s not okay to attack the people who hold/express those ideas.

    I suspect the truth lies somewhere between the two extremes you’ve presented here. Aaron, you mention a world of black and white and yet it appears that is exactly how you see things. As in - Gov’t is evil and the “people” are good. That’s obviously an oversimplification and probably not a realistic generalization. Carrie seems to feel that there’s no such thing as a conspiracy, which is also unrealistic.



    Let’s talk about something else. My post was simply bringing up how I felt about the conspiracy theory and that I found some of the ideas interesting. Funny thing is I’m pretty much apolitical, at least on this blog. Ideas are fun though!

    This is what true democracy is all about.  People talking, exchanging different thoughts, creating awareness...on both sides.  Get passionate, get excited, get confrontational.  I believe in the direct opposite of a black and white world.  Because nothing really is as it appears.  Live spiritually, live organically, live free!  Love ya Jack.

    That sounds much better Aaron, and I agree. You were freaking me out there for a minute, though <img src="http://jackbaty.dev/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;">

    Peace!

    Yikes...look what you started, Jack. <img src="http://jackbaty.dev/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;"> I know you said we’re to change the subject now...but just a few things:
    </img>



    <ol>


    <li>never said I don’t believe there could be conspiracy, just said “if ALL of it were true..."</li>



    <li>hey, my world has as many gray areas as the next person...although a strawberry field might be nice to visit, maybe even throw in a few fluffy clouds and a glass of wine (I don’t do Starbuck’s)</li>



    <li>I’m all for an honest exchange</li>



    <li>didn’t mean to use this space to argue...I should’ve just said that if I really believed this country’s leaders were that completely evil for that many years, I might not stay.  But it might be tough to find a better system.  Democracy is still a good thing...that’s something I’m sure we can all agree on.  Sorry, Aaron...didn’t mean to get personal.  Any friend of Jack’s...</li>



    </ol>



    btw - I love Jack more! (oh, that’s right...we’re not supposed to argue) <img src="http://jackbaty.dev/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;">
