There are many out there with the belief that the numerous mysterious events of our time can be explained by certain conspiracies; created by the government, outside groups trying to rein in the government or aliens. The latest conspiracy, I’ve heard about, came from the recent Michael Jackson debacle. Personally, I didn’t really go there immediately; my grieving process for dead celebrities usually starts with very inappropriate jokes, moves on to embarrassed reflection (do I really care about this person or did they affect my life in anyway) and then usually ends with me saying, “why am I spending so much time and energy on something that is really not that import to me.”
Now I understand, the passing of any human being shouldn’t be made light of; however, I don’t go through the obituaries everyday to look for normal people who die and reflect on them. Why should celebrities be anymore important? That aside considering conspiracy doesn’t usually happen in my process.
A good friend brought up the idea of conspiracy today and I actually cooked up, what I thought was a great conspiracy theory. By the way, if I and this blog disappear in the next couple of days, just know, I was right. So here it goes: I’m beginning to believe there may be a “secret society” within the super rich that will, if things go wrong and it turns out that, the celebrity, CEO, millionaire trust fund baby, etc. squanders all their riches — has kids and realizes that they will have nothing to leave their children when they die; this “secret society” will offer the individual death in exchange to set their child up for life. The only thing I haven’t really come up with is why they do it; but after typing that out I think it could be a great movie directed by the guy from Donnie Darko, that way the “why they are doing it” doesn’t have to may sense.
Ugh… That’s all for now. Haven’t been feeling well all week so you’re lucky to get this! :P Please keep the critiques coming!

Yay formatting errors, bleh. Trying again...
The problem with believing in conspiracies at all is that particular rabbit hole has no bottom. For instance, perhaps uncovering that "conspiracy" is only one factor in a larger, still-hidden conspiracy... maybe they wanted you to figure that part out in order to keep the real conspiracy hidden!
Not to mention conspiracies assume the people working them are smarter, more clever, more devious, and more far-seeing than, well, everyone else... and if they were that smart, they wouldn't need to hide their machinations. They'd just do it, having been smart enough to amass the power necessary to keep anyone from stopping 'em for long enough to do pretty much what they wanted to do.
