The moon landing quote:

"Another entirely different thread claims that Area 51 consists of various movie sound stages where we faked the moon landing. We're keeping it intact—rather than destroying the evidence—in case we want to go back to the moon. Exactly how they've kept all the military personnel who have worked there from 1969 to the present from blabbing about this is the biggest mystery, of course. I guess they kill you after your tour of duty. After all, have you ever met anyone who has worked there? (This is how these rumors start, by the way)."

And a second quote:

"I would think that perhaps a few high school courses in logic would improve people's ability to think. But logic isn't taught anymore. To me, the conspiracy sites are earmarked by a missing logic. Few of them address motives, and when they try, the logic falls apart. Things don't fall into place at all unless you assume there is some evil villain with a dastardly unexplained plot behind it all. The term "cover-up" covers all. The answers are all expected to be revealed at a later date, and then it will all make sense. Of course, that never happens."
