Wear an aluminum-foil hat like I do! That keeps the conspiracy theorists' insanity rays out (and protects my hair from excess UV, too)!

Seriously, I think I am more worried by the fact that any amount of evidence can be instantly dispelled in any argument nowadays with the magic words "conspiracy theory". Some conspiracy theories are true, dammit! The government _does_ do nasty things to people in secret -- the Tuskegee syphilis study, MK-ULTRA's LSD experiments on unwitting subjects, deliberate exposure of civilian populations and unknowing soldiers to dangerous levels of radiation, et friggin cetera.

As to Oracle being a tool of Scientology, forget it. As psychguy pointed out about the psychiatric field, Scientology is less significant to Oracle than a pimple on Ellison's ass. Oracle did a good thing; Microsoft deserves whatever's coming to it. I say, right on, Larry.
