I'm not a "Conspiracy Theorist". Can we agree on the definition? [View all]

This comes from a JFK website, but is relevant to many of the discussions here. especially in terms of trying to nail down a definition that we can agree on.

I'm not suggesting (nor would I) that one narrows ones thinking or beliefs. Simply that in terms of a discussion, when one uses the term "blue", one doesn't mean "green".

Then let's debate the CRAP out of it!
