Good thoughts.

I have no illusion of changing anyone's mind, and don't attempt to. Particularly the ones who have dug in their heels to the mainstream story.

Why I post is not for those people, but for the ones being exposed to potentially a one sided story who still have the ability to weigh both sides of the conversation and decide for themselves what to believe.

The opposition is useful in that respect. It is what make discussions worthwhile. If it were all one sided, there would be no discussion.
