Conspiracy Theorists

Very thoughtful article from Dennis Prager, with whom I do not always agree (just listen to him blather on about the virtues of the pesticide DDT), on why so many people buy into conspiracy theories: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2007/06/12/from_jfk_to_911_why_people_believe_in_conspiracies. It's well worth the read, and I think that his explanations for the prevalence of conspiracy theories are pretty accurate.
