And the assassination of Abraham Lincoln was also deemed to be the result of a conspiracy - several conspirators were hanged and imprisoned. <br />These are just two of the more obvious examples of conspiracies throughout history.Jackson Thoreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026972095752558676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-68481379722029868152016-04-04T14:48:15.134-04:002016-04-04T14:48:15.134-04:00Looks like you put more thought and work into this...Looks like you put more thought and work into this "encyclopedia" than most. Being lampooned is a tradition I will defend to my death, so I have to wear this inclusion as a badge of honor. Especially when I am in the company of folks like Robert Kennedy Jr., Cindy Sheehan, Peter Dale Scott, and Jim Marrs. Not so sure I like being in the same group as the likes of Robert Tilton and Patrick Mahoney, but that's life.<br />I have one quibble: You seem to imply that anyone who believes in a conspiracy is a loon. Conspiracies have been around since the dawn of man - read the Bible, Shakespeare, and the wall of almost any bathroom. Of course, many conspiracies are loony. But anyone who discounts the possibility of a conspiracy just because it's a conspiracy is either naive, has an agenda, or is part of the plot.Jackson Thoreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026972095752558676noreply@blogger.com
