I’ve bumped into a couple of foamy-mouthed conspiracy-theorists in my day, most recently at the anti-Israel demonstration a few months ago. The 9-11 variety are an especially heavily-spittled\u00c2\u00a0breed – probably because their theories are so outside of the realm of probablity that they figure emotion can replace actual facts.<\/p>\n
Well they’ve gotten some notable converts to their cause recently.<\/p>\n
