- Of course, by that definition, the most popular golf clubs in the Washington
- DC area are also sinister conspiracies trying to take over the world. You
- need to learn about falsifiable contentions, Steve -- what evidence would

- impose one-world government? Any evidence that CFR isn't a conspiracy is
- taken by you to be *further* evidence of their ability to hide their true
- purpose. That's a textbook definition of paranoia.
