That's an interesting thought ... so are you saying it seems impossible to you that natural selection and social interactions could impose an order that includes small groups focused on secretly consolidating power? That seems to me to be a natural response, sociologically speaking, to the factors you identified.

My question for you truthers is, with this hypothetical scenario (see the OP), about how long would Bush have had to stay reading in that room until you think he was purposely stalling (as in he was in on it and that's why he was stalling)?

Skeptics, only two of you are going to give answers, even if dishonest ones?

No one is listening, nobody cares.
You think it's less suspicious if Bush leaps up and declares a state of emergency and seems to know all about what's unfolding. I think it would be much more suspicious.
because I'm afraid there might be truth to it. I shouldn't have done that.
But really you're just convinced already so anything he does is going to be marshalled as evidence for your crackpot theory.

I'm listening. I care. I've had some good discussions thanks to this thread. Please don't speak for everyone.
I still find it really odd that you're only able to offer extreme, absurd alternatives to the "sitting and doing nothing for seven minutes" choice.
I also think that choosing to remain in a publicly accessible building, at an event that was publicly scheduled, in the midst of a complex and confusing surprise attack on American soil - that implies knowledge about what's unfolding.

Apologies, I was speaking for "skeptics". ATH911 has an amusing habit of assuming that people can't answer his questions (including, oddly, when they actually have) when generally I think nobody really cares about them. Or, in a lot of cases, can understand them.
Neither you or I have any idea what the protocol was or why the decision was made to stay for a few minutes.

I absolutely agree. As Cassius said so eloquently earlier, the topic of this thread allows only speculation, and we are basing our respective speculations on different sets of assumptions. I don't think there's any way to prove either of us right or wrong.

That didn't answer my question, but if the reading event lasted until 10am and Bush and his advisers patiently stayed in that room while our country was being attacked until the end of that event, you wouldn't find that at the least bit odd?
