Wish there were more of them, specifically pertaining to the psychology behind such theories (if they should be called theories).I'm not sure if it's still up, but skeptic.com used to be a good site for de-bunking just about everything.It's run by Dr. Michael Shermer, a hevyweight in the de-bunking biz here in the US. He's good friends with the Mythbusters duo ( Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage), Penn&Teller and Eugine Scott from the National Center for Science Education.

There is most likely all sorts of shady crap going on with governments and such, and I don't deny any possible existence of some secret "world government", but to be honest I am fairly apathetic about it. I hate humanity too much to care.
I'll just diagnose myself as Goddess of the Universe and have done with it. Hell with autism!
nice is just something written on biscuits.
I just want everyone to know that my government is exemplary, and totally honest.

Speaking of conspiracy theories, how about global warming?We know that global warming is a natural event that happens at the beginning and end of each ice-age, and yet we have all these greenies and pollies pushing the alternative energy message. I'm convinced that it's all to do with money, as the alternative energy people need grants and things to get their projects underway, and who better to convince than the greenies who have the government's ear.Global warming = carbon tax = more money for govt funding.
I must sound crazy
