Congress

I always thought it fitting that legislatures have to sit under the Dome in D.C. to try to give birth to legislation and so forth.  Although, these days their efforts look more like the mating habits of hyenas* than what the Founders originally designed the place for. Too bad about that aspect of it and the deterioration of America after 911.  The conspiracy theorists do seem to be right about a lot, scary as it is.  Storm clouds gathering, etc. 

I wouldn't use your fear or a "debunking" desire for safety as a metric for how true or false all their fear mongering is.  I know they're wrong about a few details and their over all pattern of thought is usually crazy/loopy too.  But just as it might be helpful for them to imagine reasons to calm down it might be helpful for others to imagine the body politic as being ruled by a sort of group mind.  No evil master mind like the conspiracy theorists say but a mind of sorts based on group dynamics, nonetheless. 

It may be that the conspiracy theorists that have begun galloping across the scene while imagining themselves to be Paul Revere are probably more correct and accurate in their perceptions about things than you are in general.  (Many are probably even capable of perceiving a phallic symbol when they see one too.  Pareidolia from your perspective though, huh?  Because it's not as if the conspirators have or can come forward to say: "Yes, we built a huge phallic symbol and it measures 666 too.") 

Worth considering the perspective of those you call conspiracy theorists...  I'm glad you can debunk more than a few details of the galloping types and therefore feel safe within your worldview, though.  That's an important perspective too.

'Imagine giving birth through a penis'

     Because of the female's awkward genitalia, successful mating for hyenas is tricky to pull off. It takes careful positioning for the male to crouch behind her and somehow get his penis to point up and backwards...
"Males need practice. After a couple of months of practicing, they get it lined up just right," Holekamp told LiveScience.
[/QUOTE]  Talk about leading from behind, huh?  Don't worry, that's just another metaphor for sexual congress that came about by happenstance.
