One Of Us Is Crazy...

Am I the only person who has the feeling that some of these conspiracy theories are actually carefully choreographed trolling operations? John F. Kennedy Jr. revealing that he faked his death and becoming Donald Trump's running mate in 2024? Seriously? This definitely falls into the category of "you can't make this stuff up."

But I suppose that it's a sign of how desperate people have become that things like this make sense to them. After all, people who have a sense that they've mastered their world don't tend to fall for tales that a secretive cabal of Satanist politicians have wrecked the place and need to be stopped at all costs. As much as I tend to find people's supernatural fears to be bizarre, I understand the sense of order and predictability that they bring, and the feeling of control, or at least understanding, that comes from that. It's like the idea that if one simply checks around their car for plastic bottles stuck in the wheel wells, one will be safe from carjacking. Still, I'm glad that I don't life in a world so chaotic that Robin Williams and Michael Jackson need to be the ones to set things right.
