It does not really come down to that though does it? Thinking differently is good and to be encouraged but it has to be based within a definable reality, the best method we have for defining our reality is reasoning based on demonstrable evidence, if we choose to disagree with that evidence we must produce evidence of our own that stands up better to review than that previously offered. Do I believe that our leaders ore infallible purveyors of the truth, absolutely not, unquestioned authority is disastrous and dangerous, questioning is good but only useful if you are willing to accept the answers based on the evidence presented by those with the best authority to do so.
In this case though, the US government are confirmed liars which renders any evidence they offer as suspicious.
Don't get me wrong, in general, I'm not an unbelieving or cold person, I'm more than happy to take people on face value but if I know someone is a liar then it's only natural I'll struggle to believe them.
I'm not professing to know anything more than anyone else, I just think that there's nothing been said or done since 2001 to render me less suspicious.
It's profiling, I admit that, when looking for a mass murdering liar, history points you time and time again towards Washington.
