I firmly believe than any sane person, shown the list of instances where the facts don't support the story, would come away changed, if they believed otherwise before.

Don't have the ability to post pics, so if you can just imagine the same pic, but instead his left thumb is inserted in his ass, and underneath it says "Dave"

Very good question. Wouldn't hazard a guess as to percentages going in, what I'm optimistic about are the percentages coming out.

Why though? I'm genuinely intrigued. It seems to me that these events have nothing to do with 9/11, apart from fairly transparent and shoddy attempts by Truthers to piggyback them for publicity.

I didn't invent the quote I mentioned earlier. The only person I saw at Occupy london who even mentioned 9/11 Truth did so in a disparaging manner.

That's a common Truther trope but it's not one I can see any evidence for. The reverse, actually. You're a person who believed the internet would be effectively shut down last year, so your track record of judgement is demonstrably shaky at best. I'd hazard that it's as misapplied with regard to 9/11 as it was with matters of free speech.

Well, it seems to me that OWS has an awful lot to do with 9/11. Aside from the loss of life associated with that day, we both know that certain rich people got quite a bit richer. I also consider most everyone attending these rallys candidates for conversion, if they were previously inclined toward the 'Popular Mechanics' explanation. Like I've been saying all along, you can't polish a turd.

Can't disagree with that. However, whilst I think that people getting rich out of war should be at least near the forefront of Occupy, I also feel that 9/11 Truth can only serve to confuse and perhaps even frustrate any progress there. If you focus on nonsense you have less time and resources to devote to actually changing the way money is made from war.

But the question is whether the rallies are specifically concerned with 9/11. Obviously they are not. And since you seem to think that any sane adult is a candidate for "conversion" (interesting word choice) then the rallies are no more special than, say, the Superbowl audience.
