By the way I wasn’t implying that there weren’t other CT’s around the world, it just seems most of the high profile ones are US based. But maybe that’s partly the whole ‘cultural imperialism’ thing.
And certainly the average American does not have a monopoly on stupid. Funnily enough my Mother in Law is a firm believer in the moon landings being faked. It’s terribly hard on the very rare occasion it comes up to keep a straight face. Which reminds me, of another one I didn’t mention, she also firmly believes Marilyn Monroe was murdered.
