Too true. But come on, we all like to pretend we are the hero of our own comedy or the victim of our own tragedy. We could all use the ego boost of the government showing a particular interest us, or even better than the local government, an international secret society, or intergalactic aliens, or best of all a combination of the three.
Just to avoid flaming, this post was not directed at you FF, just my thoughts on conspiracy theories in general and agreement with lordjedi's post about most people not being important enough to attract that kind of attention.
