The urge has passed. I certainly don't need to explain to you some of the ridiculous and ignorant assertions about PH, and the other folks here probably aren't interested anyway. The PH "conspiracy" is similar in so many ways to the Apollo Hoax, but it distressingly has much wider public acceptance. Many people who think an Apollo "Hoax" is silly are quite willing to say FDR "knew." But enough! |
I'm going to run with this because it relates to conspiracy theories in general. You raise a good point about acceptance of the PH conspiracy. I know otherwise reasonable people (including my dad) who adamantly believe that the US government "knew." I'm not sure why this theory has so much more of a following; it's frankly somewhat perplexing. I can somewhat understand all the JFK CTs--after all, no one wants to accept that one lone nobody could have committed such a spectacular crime. But PH conspiracies make me scratch my head.
