No real point or meaning in this post...just a pointless ramble (not so different than my normal post)
I find this topic curious on so many levels...
One, "science" oriented people can get excited about science and its defense...we use the terms fact, logic etc. (not belief or trust) but do participate in a quest for "truth"...is it fair to say that we become "passionate and emotional" about it...what would Mr. Spock say?
Second, that we live in a time that is so cynical and sceptical that governments (or most anything larger than our immediate clan) can not be trusted...(again an absence of belief and/or trust)
Where did the belief and trust in our insitutions or each other go?
Growing up in the US during the time of the Apollo launches and Viet Nam...I am torn between the conflicting viewpoints...
While I have no doubt about the moon landings authenticity (they happened)...living in a time of "advertising and spin control" even I find myself attracted to the pseudo science appeal of the conspiracy theory...
What an odd being us humans are...
And with that, I "believe" that I will go to bed!
