I tend not to be a conspiracy theorist. I know you've done good work showing how the ADA benefits from amalgam sales. Yet I personally think it's more a cultural issue: 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.


Part of the problem is the term "conspiracy theory". The word itself tends to invoke all sorts of 'Yeah Right's and 'Whatever's. But that's exactly what any aspiring conspirator is hoping for. They rely on the fact that the vast majority of the world will derisively scoff at and dismiss anything they hear because it's just a "conspiracy theory". Consequently, anyone who is a conspiracy theorist is a wacko who should be shackled up in a straight jacket, according to the blissfully self-blinded.

One should always practice the rudimentary, time-honoured tradition of: question authority. If more people did this, there would be less successful conspirators and more bona conspiracy theorists (ones who are recognised as authentic and not summarily labeled as madmen).
