   Funny, I haven’t seen anything like marketing chasing the magic 9-11 date. What I do find is a far greater interest in wack conspiracies, e.g. the Loose Change idiots. I’ve come to the conclusion that the chief reason such conspiracy addicts cling to these things is that it gives them the illusion of knowing more than other people about what’s REALLY going on, that makes them ignore or forget that they actually know far less than other people, and don’t really do that much with what they DO know. It’s sort of a state of imagined competence for them. Which they imagine supplants real competence and knowledge, simply by strength of conviction.
