"It's class warfare and my class is winning." Warren Buffett

The value of any commodity, ... to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. (Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations Book 1, chapter V.)

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works....(Barack Obama)

911 TRUTHERS INFILTRATE BILL MAHER AUDIENCE

The 9/11 Truthers have become one of the most sanctimonious and obnoxious cults in the USA today. They will engage in some of the most vicious personal attacks I have ever witnessed and personally experienced. But their mean-spiritedness is only outdone by the absurdities of their frenzied conspiratorial thought processes. For example, I have actually had some of them argue w/ me in angry terms that Noam Chomsky must be working for the US government because he thinks the 9/11 truther claims are bonk. To disagree w/ them is to be part of the conspiracy. Imagine that. Noam Chomsky in league w/ George Bush. Only a cultist could manufacture such nonsense.

The Holy Grail for many of the 9/11 "Truther" cultists is the movie "Loose Change." The movie encapsulates many of the conspiracy theorists' lunatic claims. The following are some websites which demonstrate how the claims in the movie play fast and loose with the facts: here, here, here.
