As for the government, I believe that a nation should stick together or otherwise, it will fail. Our government is our leaders, like it or not. If we don't like what our government is telling us, then we (as in the US, UK, and other democracies) can choose to replace them or we can move to another country (I hear Iran, North Korea, and Somolia are lovely this time of year). There is a checks and balances system in our government which makes it extremely difficult to "get one over" on the public. Is it a perfect system? Absolutely not. Does the government hide things from us that maybe they shouldn't? Absolutely. Do I lose sleep over it? Absolutely not. I spent over 24 years defending your right to say what you want and believe what you want. For me to believe that the government is a disaster goes against everything I fought so hard to uphold. I'm just not going to sit back and let people say and do things that could hurt my great country without them having some sort of valid reasoning behind it. It appears to me that many of the subjects of this forum include a personal agenda to get our military out of Iraq (9/11 specifically). You watch (and remember me saying this), once 2010 comes around and we have all of our military out of Iraq, these conspiracy theorists will start to go away.
Finally, I have seen people fall pray to scams and other things too many times in the past. I have family members who have spent thousands of dollars on things such as psychics and fortunte tellers and for what? They are unlicensed counselors in my opinion.
As for your Larry Dossey story, it could very easily be just that, a story...
