Conspiracy theories abound.  Why?  Whatever happened to thinking for yourself?  Have people forgotten how?  Sometimes it seems like it!
 
If we were to give the times we live in a name, like, “The Dark Ages, or, “The Enlightenment,” or, “The Industrial Age,” what would we call the times we now live in?
 
Perhaps they should be called, “The Age of the Conspiracy Theory.”
