Depends how you define "God(s)", doesn't it Bunn? I bet I don't believe in "God" according to your definition of the word either... ;-)

My guess is that many people are considerably more selfish than they appear to be, that some are more stupid as well, and that others are less so. Appearances can often be deceiving.

Bill...

I have read careful reports about 911 by all sorts of people who sound well-informed and knowledgable to me, Bill, and they don't all agree with one another by any means. Some support the government's position. Some don't. You, like anyone else (me included) are believing exactly what you wish to believe and you are listening to whoever supports your view and discounting whoever doesn't.

If a government were covering up, it would certainly find lots of "experts" to push its point of view, wouldn't it? They did so when proving Saddam had WMDs, didn't they? There were other experts who denied that. Turns out those ones were right.

The 911 controversy has plently of credible-sounding people with good sounding credentials on both sides of the debate. That's no surprise to me. That is always the case in such situations.

You're subjective in your judgements, Bill. You're not unbiased. You're the same as me or anyone else in that respect...we are all biased in our opinions. And not ONE of us knows for sure whether or not 911 was an inside job. I think it probably was. You don't. We each have a perfectly credible case to build on the basis of our own form of bias. So don't go ballistic on me and get all righteous because my opinion is different from yours, okay?
