The burden of proof isn't on us.  It's on those making outrageous claims of what happened without any proof.  Some guy said this, some guy said that, blah, blah, blah.  Proof.  Provide it or just say this is what I believe regardless of all the logic that says it's not true.

For those saying that people need to do more research before posting, I think that doing "research" from sources that have an agenda is the same as not doing reseach at all.  You want to believe there was a conspiracy and they are spoonfeeding information to you through the only media they can use to post their propaganda.  I said it before and I'll say it again: if there was a conspiracy, we would already know about it.  Too many people involved for this to remain a secret.  These sites ask all these questions, but for some reason they never actually answer them.  They provide no proof, no evidence.  They just plant these seeds that people want to believe and let them run with it.  Anytime they get shot down, they claim "what would you expect the gov't to say" or some bullshit like that.

Something to think about: Bush took office in 2001 after the 2000 election (I think, not going back to research the exact dates).  An operation such as 9/11 would have taken a ton of planning to pull off, so the planning must have gone back to the Clinton era.  Do you really believe that Clinton's group planned something like this and got a whole new executive branch to not only agree to it, but have EVERYBODY agree to keep it quiet?  The Democrats and Republicans can't agree on anything but somehow agreed on something that huge?  I don't think so.

The US isn't perfect and the gov't is far from it.  I don't agree with everything they do, but living here allows me to live a lifestyle that I enjoy.  Putting up with some government things I don't care for is a sacrafice I'm willing to make.

The people that see a conspiracy see what they want to see.  If you want to blame the gov't for not doing things to stop it, that's great.  Blaming the gov't is ignorant.  Believing what you're told because it feeds your hatred of the gov't is foolish.  If there was a conspiracy, we would know it already.  The anti-gov't people are using the internet to float their propaganda as facts because the mainstream media won't touch it.  Why won't they touch it?  Because it's bullshit and there is no need to give it more attention than it already gets.

Welcome to what Chinese Democracy (or whatever it get's named by 2010) will do on the charts.

Interesting that while we're discussing if the band is done, they release a 3rd single.  If VR was almost done, why release another single on an album that is what it is?  Like JB said, there is no saving the album at this point.
