when you break down conspiracy

i just thought it was pretty funny that when you breakdown the word conspiract into cons-piracy, like cons=bad, piracy=fakeso it's really like one big bad fake

That's funny; but I think you got it backwards...

Con(s):Fake (con-artist... you've been conned... Connie Chung)
Piracy: Stealing (a "pirate"... internet piracy [illegal downloading of music])

I think con is "against" in latin, and in spanish it is "with"

With Stealing? Fake Stealing? Against Stealing?

It could be backwards...
Stealing With... Stealing Against...

Lemme check the dictionary...

dictionary.reference.com...

...you should check the dictionary; kind of funny.

conspiracy

unwarrented corruption

thats what it is!

I think the con means with in this case. It means doing/planning with others. The conspiracy theories all are about clandestine groups planning evil against us.

so then what is the opposite of that? when there are clandistine operations for the purpose of good?

Non-clandestine operation for the purpose of bad, which is simply evil.
