Conspiracy theories have also been of great interest to me. I have spoken briefly with Professor Seago concerning the nature of these theories. I've concluded that humans have always been and will always be skeptical by nature. It is quite natural to question the world around us, and it is only right to question the legitimacy of our leaders. The fact that we, as American citizens, always do not receive the complete truth gives us this right to question. You mention fighting for change in the case that we don't believe in the legitimacy of our President. I think this feeling of illegitimacy goes hand in hand with lack of political participation. Hypothetically, if I feel distrust in the government and President, I will most likely not feel the need to participate in politics. At the end of the day, I take conspiracy theories with a grain of salt. They sure are interesting, though.
