Cognitive dissonance is a discomfort caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance. They do this by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and actions.[2] Dissonance is also reduced by justifying, blaming, and denying.

What about those of us who are officially "fence sitters" ?
I have no opinion on 9/11. I don't believe the OS but I don't see anything other explainations that have been proven. To date, my opinion is that it is unexplained (aside from planes hitting the two buildings in NYC). In the meantime, it has been used as political leverage to do some pretty awful stuff, such is the way of D.C.

Smash a jet into a brick wall 100 times and i'm sure your bound to get varying results with one of them possibly producing nothing but a tiny hole.
If you can admit that possibility than the truthers whole arguement starts to go downhill very quickly.

That is very rude and uncalled for even if you disagree with someone.
No one else is threatening you are they?

even suggesting the possibility that 9-11 was a hoax should be considered treason, you disgrace your country, and you should just leave because you obviously have no respect for it. nor do you have any respect for the brave men and women who gave their lives defending it, you bring shame on the families left behind by those who died in the world trade center. all those firemen, policeman, paramedics who died they were true heroes, and patriots, and you stand there and defile their graves with your filth.
you call yourself an american? i should punch you in the face.
hows that?
