Linda Thompson's stuff about traffic signs was based on weird physical
evidence. She actually saw reflective stickers on the backs of traffic
signs, and they were real. However, these stickers were just for testing
the reflectivity of the signs. I think a lot of conspiracy theory stuff
is based on relatively real info. Basically, the conspiracy theorists
coming from defensible places, but they overproject. There are serious
problems in this country (the US). We are on the path to
totalitarianism. But it's much more subtle and slow than the
contheorists believe. And they're making any mention of "media
consolidation" or "unconstitutionality" look like crackpot talk. They're
hurting the cause, dammit. I'm pretty sure the NSA is behind it.
