On a broader theme, I wonder how much of this is due to a breakdown of trust in politicians. It seems strange now, but not all that long ago they were held in reasonable regard. I'm not sure when that started to change - kennedy assassination maybe. These days there is a counter theory for almost everything, no matter how wacky - I mean, take lady di's death. Imagine a pissed driver doing twice the speed limit in an underpass being somehow responsible for a crash!

...or the media which gives these kookie ideas a platform for the sake of sensationalism (and the twallies that have no critical functions when they read it).
