Where you sit on the issues of 9/11, for most people (there are lots of exceptions as the world and those in it are diverse in world perspective and view), it comes down to their view of how the world works.
Most of us in the civilized world believe that what we see, what we hear, what we are told, is likely true until proven false. Our justice system is built around it. We presume if someone says they are innocent, that they are until proven otherwise. We believe that if we watch a TV NEWS Broadcast, and see a plane hit a building, that it hit the building, unless proven otherwise. If we see a feminine looking person dressed in a bra and panties, we assume it is a woman until proven otherwise (I had to throw that one in...no not from personal experience...lol).
Now on the other hand, there are those that look at the world completely opposite. They assume someone, or some organization has been dishonest, and is lying, until proven to them that this isnt true. They believe the TV station is a pawn of corporate america, and has CGIed in the plane to manipulate the masses into fear. They will assume the person in the underwear is a man, or a lizard wanting to rule the world.
Most of us live in a relatively honest, "it is like we see it" world, and for the most part, when this is not the case, it is eventually proven different through logic, evidence, and facts..
The truthers, or many of them, live in a world where everyone is to be distrusted, where everyone, especially big brother is lying, and where it is each man for himself. Their world is ruled by opinion, hearsay, and speculation. It is the world of total paranoia and mistrust.
It is sad really. I pity, not envy, those who live in the latter.
