I'm talking about the vast majority of individually-framed accusations for all 'conspiracy' theories combined. Perhaps read what I wrote again. I wasn't saying there are no legitimate theories, which presumably is what you're hand-waving about. I was saying most aren't, and by a long shot. And in my opinion, these are not only illegitimate, but without virtue and immoral.
Thank you for the clarification. I'm glad to hear you weren't lumping the serious 911 researchers in with the others.
Being that many of these 'hot topics' lack any authoritative (otherwise known as 'legitimate') investigative processes, in addition to the fact that most of these theories seem radical to the average person, even pushing the buttons of those who are otherwise open-minded, I don't really think it's possible to fully assess them, without delving into each one individually and assessing it on its own merits. Thus, I don't even think it's possible to know if indeed 'most' fall into a legitimate or, as you say, 'immoral' category.
911 is a good example. It's got the most tangible evidence and therefore a no-brainer to anyone who has granted the subject even cursory review, and yet most mainstream people still think anyone even questioning the official story is 'wacko,' unpatriotic, and even 'immoral.'
I prefer to take a neutral stance on any theory that I have not personally investigated enough to form an opinion.

? I wasn't aware the Q'uo ever made any such comment. I would be very interested in this, if you happen to find the session!

There are a few sessions like that for me too.

That purity of intention inherently can shed new light on problems, even if it's distorted with personal bias. However, more distortion also requires more reader discernment to extract any 'pearls'.
Agreed.

People distrust governments, doctors, corporations, money, etc etc, and for good reason. They therefore look to many sources, finding one's own truth which will be, in the end, the universal truth.
Well said.
