An must-read series of articles (well, two of three) titled 'Seeing the Unseen' from the website Eject! Eject! Eject! which discuss paranoid attitudes, conspiracy theories and beliefs that defy, or rather shut a blind eye to reason and common sense - an increasingly common affliction in todays society of Political Correctness to the point of complete lunacy. In the author's words:

Today, it seems that legions of people - growing legions - are falling victims to ideas and beliefs that on the face of it are patently false...things that are so clearly and obviously nuts that you really have to wonder what deep, mighty engine of emotional need could possibly drive a brain so deep into a hole.

In order to preserve the articles in case the original pages are deleted or moved, I am posting copies of each on this site, as well as links to the originating site:

I happened across the second article thanks to a link from the site of Michell Malkin. The author's name is Bill Whittle, using the moniker Proteus. The articles discuss things such as the Bush stereotype, that 911 was staged (just like the moon landing was), that contrails seen in the sky from passing jets (aka vapor trails) are actually slow-acting toxins designed to reduce the world population by 85%, and similar such fantasies. It's lengthy, so perhaps print it out and read it on the subway - if you're not too busy trying to figure which people in your subway car are part of some nefarious plot against the rest of the people in your subway car, of course.
