Okay, you actually have a point, and it deserves a better answer than that. :)

No, I never take the mainstream press at face-value. Not when it comes to Nixon, not when it comes to Abraham Lincoln.

If you've any evidence of Nixon being ready to uncover a big conspiracy, I'd love to hear it. I keep hearing the funniest things about Clinton, too, and while most of it doesn't click, my gut tells me that something funny was going on there that had nothing to do with blowjobs or real estate.

Ha! You guys would've been wrong about Reagan having Alzheimer's, too.

Anyway, I have a question. At what point does a conspiracy theory stop being a conspiracy theory and become a valid theory? When it appears on CNN? Is it a numbers thing? If a certain amount of people in the United States believe it (if the rest of the world counts then my theory is already valid), does it suddenly become a realistic theory when it was crackpot the day before?

I'm curious. What is your criteria? What would actually make you guys take this theory seriously?

(I've sort of made a hobby out of this theory at this point -- and I need the practice at convincing people of things anyway.) :)
