Troy, I spent 34 years working for the govt. I learned very quickly that there is no arguing with people who hold those kinds of beliefs. As my Dad used to say (jokingly) "Don't confuse me with the facts. My minds made up!"

They simply don't want to hear the truth because they believe that what they are saying is the truth.

And Like you, how much older do I have to get. I'm 66, shortly to be 67. There was a day when that was considered really old. We were considered to be wise old men, the elders with all the wisdom and knowledge. Not any more.

I long ago gave up this discussion Peter, for the very reasons you've noted. I lump many of these into the conspiracy theorists category, as they seem to just spout off talk radio host speaking points and never seem to really understand the multiple and various issues involved in their debate. JFK is living on the same remote, uncharted south Pacific atoll, that many of the early multi-hull designers seemed to have end up, partying with Elvis I assume, waiting for ET to return Amelia and her plane.

In the USCG we had a bumper sticker. Elvis, if you're out there, we''l find you!
