Its just hard for me to believe the governement and media is telling the truth all the time.

CaptainCrunch, your post was hilarious though....those grain stealing freaks!!
Calling the conspiracy theorist perpective on issues a whole 'side' is a grave mistake. While there is meritt to not take the media's and the government's spin at its full value, it's quite another to make up complete poppycock to fill in the blanks to explain one's world view.

The only important thing conspiracy theorists contribute is they ask the question of whether or not you have the full truth on events. The second they break into their 'explanation' of said things is the second they become completely counterproductive.
