I quite enjoy a good conspiracy theory if I look at it like a great story, but try to keep my emotions and logic and deeper thought away from this subject. I love learning facts and expanding my horizons knowledge-wise, but when it comes to 9/11, terrorism, governments, etc, I'm extremely apathetic.

I'm sure it's not the ideal way of thinking, but I feel there's not much I can do to significantly change the existence of terrorists or how governments worldwide spread the fear and/or hide and manipulate the significance of said terrorists.

I think the issue with 9/11 and terrorism is that the whole thing is too much damn hurt and too much damn tragedy - emotionally and physically - and a documentary or a government warning isn't going to fix or change anything. It's just going instill deeper fear, hurt, resentment & create more conspiracy theories & make people worldwide angrier at the terrorists, the government, and each other.

Feel free to change my view / educate me.
