Conspiracy theories are the modern worlds replacement for religion, we cant cope with the idea that awful random crap happens, in the old days we'd blame plagues on a vengeful god because we were sinners, now we blame a half dozen nutters flying planes into buildings on a vengeful Government because we wont support their plan for something or other (democracy's sin)
It's comforting for the frightened to believe their is a plan for it all somewhere when the world doesn't make sense.
