This conspiracy theorist may have actually had a point about the OT

People can't work together for very long before it all falls apart, even on a small scale. Sports teams can't even get along, and they all get paid a king's ransom to do nothing at all. To me, global conspiracies are merely entertaining fiction. Are some things lies and misdirection, especially from government types? Oh, absolutely. Definitely, definitely, there are people in power who want to control how you think and distract you from how bad they're screwing you. Is there a group of them secretly working in concert to control the whole world? Someone would have come for me by now, I'm certain.

Hahaha, well to be fair you do make a convincing argument. You would imagine that ruthless, power-drunk people would eventually turn on one another and that the entire operation would be unsustainable. But I'm just not sure - I've heard of things which go on over here (things such as the Orange Order, which links into Freemasonry). That's obviously not on a global scale but perhaps you're right - things can be carried out at a micro level but not macro.

Athletes tend to be very petty, childish types though. You'd think that the Illuminati (I had to use the word eventually, lol) would consist of more driven people. But on the whole you're probably right that - while the media is all about distraction - there probably isn't a one-world government conspiracy theory going on. But to reiterate, I don't think we can so casually dismiss the possibility.

There's a hint of irony in your comments though, given you have a DP of Nash - a guy who was in the NWO stable
