You're just doing what everyone does, Bill. You're interpreting the available information in the way that you find most convincing. That does not peeve me. It's the fact that you obviously think you're more objective and rational than I am that peeves me... ;-)

I am confident, Bill, that I am just as intelligent and rational as you are. I base that on a life fraught with a great deal of observation of myself and others. I am equally confident that I, like you, can make errors and draw false conclusions. I do not consider myself superior to you.

If the government is covering up their own complicity in 911, they will go to great efforts to distribute false information, false testimony from various experts who are on the payroll, and various isolated facts which in themselves may be true, but are arranged so as to lead to an overall false conclusion. They have vast resources at their disposal to do that if they want to. If so, they have you and a lot of other people fooled.

If the government is not covering up anything about 911, then I am the one who has been fooled...by various other people who are not in the government.

And there is no way on Earth that either you or I can determine, without any vestige of remaining doubt, which of those above cases is the real one....regardless of what info we look up from either the government spokesmen or from their most severe critics.

We are both ultimately at the mercy of whatever "facts" and opinions are given to us by someone else, and that someone else usually has an unspoken agenda behind whatever they are saying.

The only testimony that I have total faith in is testimony coming directly from someone I personally know and already have total faith in, and who was in the position to know what they're talking about. I don't know anyone like that when it comes to 911, and I don't expect you do either.
