Dive into insanity....

patgundI'm wrapping up part six of the whole timeline on the conspiracy theories on the citizen and birth certificate for Sen. Barack Obama.
Other than *maybe* the occasional update, I see no reason to do a part seven.
Why??
When I come out of researching the sites pimping this conspiracy, I feel like I just waded though an open sewer. A VERY dirty open sewer, filled with very dirty people.
They're not the type of internet nutter you can point at and laugh. After a while, you discover it's the type of internet nutter that makes you more and more angry. Doesn't matter if you're left-wing or right-wing, (there are right-wing blogs taking the Birth Certificate nutters apart as well).
And it's a type of insanity that threatens to draw you into it. Until fighting it becomes as much an act of insanity as believing it.
I choose not to fall into that well of crazy. The people who want to believe it WILL believe it, despite all the evidence you find to prove them otherwise. I've proved to my satisfaction that there's absolutely no credible proof or evidence to support their theory, and I will leave them to their insanity.
