Conspiracy theorists like to believe that the world is governed by incredibly smart, masterfully competent manipulators who pull all the strings for their own benefit and watch the world dance to their tune. That can be a comforting thought in the sense that it absolves the believer of the necessity to take action. After all, fighting the grand conspiracy is pointless, so why try?
But as one watches economic events unfold, it's increasingly clear that the truth is nothing so convenient as all that. Rather, our lives are governed and dominated by a bunch of fools who aren't much smarter than anyone else you see walking down the street.
Sorry Alex Jones, I think Mr. Atkins has a point.
