Recently I have found myself in certain social circles. I find myself asking a damning question: are all these people crazy? The trouble with that question is that it is invariably followed by the darker question: if I am surrounded by crazy people, does that make me one of them?
Did you know that Glen Beck is a CIA plant meant to draw attention away from the Patriot movement? Or how about this: did you know fire has never brought down a steel building? Never ever.
These are just a small sampling of things I have heard recently from people I thought were otherwise rational. I found myself wondering. Am I crazy? It is said that you can judge a person by the friends he keeps. Does this mean that if a person’s friends are conspiracy theorist nut jobs that by default that person is also a nut job? The thought is sobering.
