Why I Hate the Term Conspiracy Theory
What a great article, Jo - couldn't agree more. Following the herd right off the cliff has never been for me...would prefer to question everything myself...including the messenger!
What frustrates me further is when you see an "expert" on tv labeling something a conspiracy theory. They actually do that little snarky laugh, their facial expressions often speak volumes (if you believe this conspiracy theory, you are a quack).
I love this topic the most because I think it is the core problem in our society...not that everything is a conspiracy theory...but that no one questions anyone anymore! Not their doctor, not Big Pharma, not their food labels, not their tap water, not their leaders (until caught later on engaging in bad behavior...then they are "shocked!").
When we stopped questioning everything, we allowed a sickness to seep in while our eyes remained closed. Great, great, GREAT topic, once again...
