"A piece of my heart eyes the wheel in motion
With suspicion of coincidence
It don't grab me now, to swallow the notion
Of accident that no one meant"
"A Piece of My Heart" by Gang of Four

Bill Maher goes into the audience to "help" toss out an audience member who keeps-rudely-interrupting the proceedings by loudly reminding people that certain holes exist in the official story surrounding the 9/11 attacks. Meanwhile, the most viewed video in the history of the internet-a video longer than five minutes, at least-is a documentary titled Loose Change that takes as its central thesis that a government conspiracy acted behind the scenes during the 9/11 attack. Who should be trusted, Bill Maher or the Loose Change guys? Considering that Maher has publicly admitted to dating Rectal Noun, I'm going to have to eliminate him on the basis of a fatally flawed perspective.

Not to mention the fact that the bushies were spying on Americans even before the "reason" (9/11) given for doing it...Is loose change, or Michael Moore, all correct? I don't know, but they are far more believabel than Mr. Bush

The government is so secretive over absolutely NOTHING AT ALL and this contributes to people's certainty that the government is hiding something. Example: CIA fought in court for the right to keep Valerie Plame Wilson from publishing info from her own personnel file that was already public. This is the sort of idiocy that gets people speculating.
