People often go on about the big, bad Evil Conspiracy ... is there a Conspiracy of Good going on as well?
Has there always not been a "Conspiracy of Good" going on to counter humanity's stupid, greedy and nasty tendencies and are the BKs part of that? (... My honest opinion would be the good people try to change things, are used up and then leave, or are driven out of the BKWSU).
Mike, I feel you misrepresented my position. I do not to agree or deny conspiracy theory but question what anyone can do about it. A big part of what you are talking about is just "global capitalism" (or whatever it is called). How are you going to fight that? For most people "global capitalism" is just wonderful and it gives them all the stuff they need and want. The problem with conspiracy theory that I see is that
As a individual one has the choice of sitting back on the bank of the river and let it destroy itself (if it is so bad), getting involved to subvert it to do some good, or starting something new. Sadly, most conspiracy theory gurus I meet do nothing good. They don't even live good lives. I would even go as far to say that they are just slightly envious of the people in power and want it for themselves. Want to be boss because they believe they could do better ... without doing any of the work to build and achieve what has been done.
Putting aside the 'Pro', 'Con' and factual argument, what attracted and attracts you to it? (My feeling is the two CT and BK, are similar and connected).

- a) it has no products to sell
b) it has no services to offer
c) it has no army or religion with which to suppress people

- Is it the sincere desire to help people?
Is it a political ambition?
An academic interest?
Or is it just another sort of Gurudom because the offer of BKWSU Gurudom either did not suit you and/or it demanded too much effort and commitment from you?
