<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1581634, member: 3011&quot;]I personally like conspiracy theories -- not because they are all or mostly true, but because any really new and valuable information might start as a conspiracy theory.&nbsp; Peak oil is one I have great fondness for because it made me a lot of money after I first read about it when oil prices were in the $20&#039;s.&nbsp; I suppose the Manhattan Project and other military secrets are evidence that projects involving large numbers of people can be kept secret for a long time.&nbsp; I remember when anyone who said they believed in the Council on Foreign Relations were thought to be conspiracy theorists.&nbsp; Now, the president of the CFR is on TV almost every day.&nbsp; You never know who will turn out to be right, so it is dangerous [or at least unprofitable] to dismiss them outright.&nbsp; Much of history was a conspiracy at the time.&nbsp; I suppose many in Parliment believed that the stories about subversive groups in the American colonies planning to declare independence from Britain were mere conspiracy theories.&nbsp; You just never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
