Ron -
I get your point, Doug. I had to suppress the desire to roll my eyes
when once I met someone who looked up at the sky and spoke confidently
of chemtrails.
I generally feel the same way, and this is usually abutted with
something about crop circles and maybe a reference to the grassy knoll.
I *did* get caught off guard recently when reading about technological
"remedies" to global warming via releasing sulfur compounds into the
upper atmosphere... someone "suggested" that the (govt, corp, etc.) was
*already* doing it by introducing said chemistry into jet fuel. I was
briefly a "true believer". It still seems like too much to put past
everyone (jet fuel providers, mechanics, EPA, etc.) but for at least a
second I was ready to believe that large scale atmospheric manipulation
was already underway.
I think it is the "confidence" coming from someone who normally
(usually) has no interest in anything technical or analytical claiming
they "know for a fact" something that at best they "have on good authority".
