Enough with the boogie-man illuminatus stuff... why are you even on this forum? Ron Paul is a freemason and thus a follower of satan based on the conspiracy theories. While an avid supporter of Ron Paul, I have encountered my fair share of conspiracy theorists who are afraid of everyone... and their own shadow. Is there some kind of fear factor/inability to trust gene in these folks? My hypothesis is that these people couldn't assimilate into society and often have trouble even maintaining a regular job and feel compelled to find some devious, secret reason why they cannot function with the rest of society. I believe we definitely should be aware of how government is used as a means of authority over the individual but do not believe that it is the precisely coordinated services of events through some secretive group of elitists. In the age of information this is just not rationally and realistically possible. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
