it's a bit like someone telling you they're charming. if it's true, they won't need to say it. | I could tell you about some conspiracy theories, as I find them highly fascinating, ranging from ridiculous to possible.
I could also tell you theyre just theories and while I dont entertain them as truths, there could be something to some of them.
I dont believe that things are always on the up and up the way we're lead to believe they are, and Id say that makes me a skeptic.

Fear is the most powerful tool for control, and the people are lead to believe that they better buy the finest of handbaskets.
The up and up is that everything will be just fine. They know this, but they dont want us to know this.

To be perfectly clear, I like uniformed optimists just fine, even in large groups. It's those danged uninformed optimists that keep bumbling about.

Sometimes my own independent investigation is less diligent than other times. Mostly though, I just don't care enough about what is said to bother.
Most people call me a pessimist. I am not, but neither am I an optimist. I think of myself as a realist.
