RE: [Marxism] Marxism and Conspiracy

["Austin, Andrew" <austina@xxxxxxxx>]

First, I never even remotely suggested that the man knew about the attacks in 
advance.  Nobody I have ever heard talk about this subject has ever suggested 
such a thing.  Why did you go there?
 
Second, if somebody had a rational reason to believe that he did know in 
advance, it wouldn't be ludicrous.  It would be a question that would need an 
answer.  I don't fear questions and answers.  Copernicus' notions of the 
structure of the solar system were ludicrous to virtually everybody.
 
As for politics, everything about this discussion is political, but some of it 
in a oddly warped way considering the context.  All I'm saying is that we 
shouldn't ridicule people who ask obvious questions.  It just alienates them.  
It makes us look hateful and closeminded or worse.  You sure don't ease their 
concerns by giving them the runaround or speaking on subjects you haven't 
bothered to look into.

To even entertain the possibility that Larry
Silverstein knew in advance that the WTC would be attacked on 9/11 is
ludicrous.
