Good to hear you've come around in the mercury-awareness department. That's great.
Perhaps a year from now, you'll be taking a second look at the conspiracy side of the issue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I understand what you say about...
they simply cannot bring themselves to believe that they've made a catastrophic mistake that compromised the health and happiness of literally hundreds of millions of people over the past 100+ years.
But the thing that all of us plain-and-caring folk seem to fail to remember is that there are people in the world that have no conscience. We tend to think that everyone is like us with normal feelings of guilt, empathy, and compassion. Not so.
The thing that really convinced me is to look at law in history.
When you do, you begin to see unravel before you, a series of deliberate, long-term deceptive patterns of law that work together to undermine freedoms in a clever way that few will notice. And these patterns always benefit a small group of people who happen to donate a lot of money to political campaigns.
This is only the tip of the iceberg however.
Take some time and read the interesting parts of the war powers act, the federal reserve act, and check out the book called,
The Creature From Jekyll Island. This is a good starting point and a primer to see the long-standing, uncreative methods these people use to subvert truth.
We also (by permission) stream the Author's lecture about the subject of the book from this system:

This is the kind of evidence that did it for me (law).
I know I won't convince anyone with a few paragraphs on a forum, but for anyone who's willing to put in the time, there is a wealth of information that will eventually, with enough study, make you wonder how you missed it for so long.
When you do, and when you combine this knowledge with
Bible "end-time" prophecy, the whole world begins to make sense.
"The most brilliant thing the devil ever did was convincing the world he doesn't exist."
