well mainstream gets updated each and every day with new information and people evolve. Women were at one time not allowed to vote (still don't in many parts of the world), there was segregation. The world was once considered flat. Saying people are proven wrong over time is hardly a great way to defend fringe beliefs in conspiracy theories.

However if you must you can also likely point back to 100 or so conspiracies that have been proven to be nothing of the sort, but I don't suspect you'd take that as proof as every current conspiracy theory is wrnog either.

My point stands though ... modern conspiracy theories always put the simple and logical answer on the stand and make them proof that two probable unrelated events are indeed unrelated. Pretty backwards if you ask me.

Like I said yesterday ... I took the bus to work today and the WTI oil price has fallen almost a buck. Can you prove those two events have no link?
