Funspiracy Theories

My gun-toting conspiracy theorist next-door neighbor approached me while I did yard work and proceeded to ramble for fifteen minutes. He informed me that, believe it or not,  there’s another conspiracy theory out there, this time regarding the Sandy Hook shootings at Newton Connecticut. He called himself a “Sandy Hook Truther” and spent his time regurgitating all the “facts” he got from a YouTube video. I nodded noncommittally and kept my rake close in case I needed defense.

My generation is skeptical and I consider myself a skeptic, but I don’t understand how some skeptics can be so skeptical of some things but so stupidly willing to believe the craziest things. My person skepticism runs so deep that I’m skeptical of other skeptics.
