Yes, I've heard about all sorts of cover-ups. What I have not heard are
good reasons to believe that many of them have *are* cover-ups.

I'm proud to say that I'm reading nothing but science books. Because of
my interest in science, I have a lot of trouble with the sort of 'evidence'
generally cited in support of conspiracy theories. I think that makes
me more awake, not 'asleep'.

There's not much point in owning myself if I'm not worth much. Most of my
feelings of self-worth are based on an awareness that I try to think clearly,
rationally, and skeptically. I see no point at all in fantasizing 'enemies'
just to make the prospect of self-ownership seem more precious.
