Which is why I've generally stopped wasting time I'll never reclaim arguing with conspiracy theorists, who will never be satisfied once on their pet topics, and instead turned to the far more interesting and fruitful area of why they are what they are.
A week ago in the Washington Post was this column, talking about the never-can-die Birther issue. "Who Becomes A Birther . . . ." could be extended to any topic, including Bin Laden death doubters.

As before, about one-third to 40% of the population probably falls into the "conspiracy theorist" category - less than a majority thankfully - and if they believe in one theory, they will likely believe in many others, although "all" is too absolute.
