CONSPIRACIES

You probably enjoy friends who have diverse opinions. I have a few who think everything that moves is a conspiracy and others who think conspiracies are only for delusional whackadoos. Still others believe in conspiracies once in a while.

President Franklin Roosevelt claimed that in politics, nothing happens that is not a conspiracy.

Was the international Communist movement a monolithic conspiracy? Was Judas part of a conspiracy? How about the events in New York on 9/11? The assassination of President John Kennedy is often called a conspiracy. The flood of 20 million illegal immigrants seems to have conspiratorial undertones involving both major political parties and business interests.

If there are no conspiracies, then why does the term exist? Somewhere, someone must have conspired to get the word into the dictionary.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Jaywalking

- Today is the anniversary of Newt Gingrich's announcement that HE WILL NOT run for president. Celebrate and be thankful - our system does work.

- A doctor was arrested in northern Utah for over-prescribing drug medications. No kidding? That's a crime? My aunt took six different meds every day. The only one punished was auntie.
