"Absolutely valid- But I do not know if all those people who talk about things happening before I was born are lying, either. Nor can I know that ANYTHING is true, even if I see it myself- "they " could be feeding false information directly into my optic nerve.

If you are going to claim that it MUST be false because you do not trust the government, then please state what you CAN trust- so I can show how they are (possibly) no more true to the facts.


BB, in your efforts to challenge me you are slipping beyond legitimate argument into absolutely outrageous hyperbole. That's not helpful. It's never helpful to stretch an argument to an absurd extreme.

I have said, and said, and said...that I don't know what happened, and I don't know who I can trust, because that is the case. I don't know. You don't know. I have no final opinion about who I CAN trust. What would I base such an opinion on?

Faith.

Well, I have faith in myself, and I have faith in some people that I know personally. Other than that, I have no way of being sure what's true and what isn't when it comes to public statements by a goernment and its numerous critics. I have to make the best guess I can about who is being truthful or accurate...and I have to keep in mind that that guess may be wrong.

The link that Peace provided certainly has a ton of interesting info on it. They suggest that the government itself has planted the " cruise missile" idea in people's minds (partly via an apparent slip of the tongue by Donald Rumsfeld) as a bit of clever disinformation intended to discredit the whole 911Truth movement by causing people in it to adopt an easily attackable theory that Flight 77 never hit the building!

Hmmm. Could be, I suppose. More stuff to think about. ;-)

Really, man, I have no idea of how to be sure about what happened there on that day. I just have a lot of questions.
