People so want to believe. UFO'S, Bigfoot, ghosts, Nessie,
all kinds of paranormal activity, more felt than seen out of the corner of our
collective eye. Conspiracy theories are spawned by the same lust, something to
allow us flights of fancy beyond our own matter-of-fact existence. The Kennedy
assassination, a fake moon landing, 9-11. We seek it out of escapist need, like
drugs and alcohol or a nice Pentecostal Church. Carry me away from here, get me
high on the possibilities. When we run with a pack of the like-minded, we may
never have to face the fact that the emperor has no clothes and Santa isn't real.
