SET PHASERS TO "GRINDING TEDIUM"

Rencall posted:

So when I encounter truthers, which is becoming increasingly common, I enter the conversation optimistically that it will be a smart discussion, sort-of like talking about the JFK assassination, which conspiracy theorists can lay out a pretty solid case about.

Is this even really "conspiracy-theorist" territory? Does anybody who knows what the Warren Commission was seriously believe that Oswald acted alone? I mean, sure, to theorise otherwise is to theorise a conspiracy of sorts, but it's hardly the same thing as thinking there are aliens in Area 51. I thought every educated person took it pretty much as fact that JFK was killed by some sort of monied or political interest, most likely either Texan politicians or some rogue element of the CIA.
