According to a 1999 Gallup </font>poll, about 6 percent of the population of the United States has doubts that the Apollo astronauts walked on the Moon. (Five percent had no opinion, while 89 percent believed the landings took place.)</font>
Translation: 6 percent of the population of the United States are complete idiots. Five percent can't think, and 89 percent have reasonable intelligence. </font>
This conclusion applies to all those other polls as well.</font>
400,000 people worked on the moon landing. Lest we forget Occam's Razor, to subscribe to conspiracy theories is to subscribe to lunacy. Occam's Razor states that one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed. </font>
The very same can be said about 911 conspiracy theorists. They are out on a broken limb. They have to weave a tangled web of impossibilities in order to make their theory work. </font>
These people, when faced with direct evidence (such as plane parts at the Pentagon, witnesses testifying that it was a plane and was seen etc) will continue to spin and deny. They won't be satisified until they can convince everyone they are right. Even in the face of tons of evidence to the contrary. Nuts.</font>
Artful Dodger: There are a few conspiracy theories I do support (like this one). I believe it's not right to condemn a "theory" only because it's labeled a conspiracy one. The competent authorities should investigate every single possibility (in the case of conspiracies involving any criminal actions) and provide the results thereof. If they fail to do so, I think a common man has every right to believe that any such conspiracy theory might be true.
Pedro Martínez: You make a good point and I shouldn't lump all conspiracy theories together. I happen to agree that global warming is a fraud and likely there are elements that are perpetuating the global warming myth for personal and corporate gain. I have no idea how widespread any global warming conspiracy could be. I see it as more a select few reactionsists, reacting to the normal global temperature fluctuations, and then many others simply jumping on the band wagon. It's nice to belong to a cause even if it is based on bad science.
