43. I've observed this for some time now: many OCTers seem to be fueled by a want of ridiculing others..

...who question the events, explanations and potential motives for the crimes of 9/11 over what they insist are such people's "beliefs," which of course is a transparent attempt to appeal to the anti-religious stripes found among the dem party.

Basically, I perceive it this way: I find the authoritarian aspects of humanity to be the most dangerous thing we face as a species, which desperately needs to re-group and figure out better approaches to existence, examining ourselves, human social systems, etc.

Now, if I walked into a group of right wingers {those deeply mired in their own authoritarian tendencies} having a discussion and joined in, we would surely disagree with one another on many fundamental points, but the fact is, I would still be able to connect with at least a few of them on some common ground.

This, however, is where some OCTers seem to be stuck, as one gets the distinct impression that for them, anyone who lends any degree of credence to the inside job idea is automatically disavowed, "crazy," "delusional," not part of the "reality based community," "tinfoil," etc...they seem to have no shortage of such self aggrandizing epithets, nor any hesitance in their want of using such words specifically against those they disagree with. This in and of itself often appears to be their sole motivator. Many have observed the hateful glee in which some of these types go on the attack, which speaks volumes re intent.

I mean, when one considers the psychological motive for needing to label entire groups of people from all walks of life as "crazy," well, I tend to not take such perceptions and views very seriously ... cause I get the feeling that there is something else altogether motivating such actions and desires.
