If anyone needed proof that conspiracy theories appeal to the feeble-minded, there's plenty of it on there.

I love a good conspiracy theory

Don't believe any of 'em though

I agree with the above.

I did enjoy the line about how governments would be obsolete if all the problems were gone. I suppose that day will also be the day that lemonade falls instead of rain, and everyone gets a free cherry pie.
