Yujinn,
You're absolutely right. However, i believe that the fault lies within ourselves. We have just become too obsessed with the 'flashy lights' and 'distractions' that are on offer, and thus can't be asked to be 'actively', employing the tools of reason to decipher the truth. We are a 'breakfast in bed' nation. We want to be spoonfed everything.
With regards to the silly theories. Yes, i have seen many of them, and they are truly ridiculous, and they have been 'put' out there for exactly this reason... so those even remotely inclined towards using their own brains... will just shut out anyone who questions the 'official' version... as deluded nutjobs.
We have just become incredibly apathetic.
In the words of Martin Niemoeller (a German theologian and anti-war activist) :
"First they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me".
This 'poem' could very well be customized for the recent past as well: Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanomo, Sudan, Ethiopia, Lebanon... the list just keeps growing and growing... and as long as we are safe, we don't really care.
