Could I possibly implore you
Oh ye of little sense
Not to fall for every
Schemers
Ploy, as you peruse the
Internet?
Really, I’m not the only one that thinks, you
Are coming off half cocked
Claiming insider information
You most assuredly haven’t got
The ‘truths’ you’re privy to online
Have to be weighed with common sense
Evidently, in which you’re lacking-
Or you’d have thought of this yourself.
Really, I’m not judging-
I just absolutely believe, that when Sr. Francis Bacon
Said, “Scientia potentia est”- he knew
That knowledge can only be power, when your
Sources are correct.

BTW, the reason I never believe in conspiracy theories is that I know for a fact, whenever a conspiracy involves more than one person, more than one person blabs.

Thanks for dropping in to comment, Iowa. And you hit the nail right on the head when you mentioned blabbing.. The plot thickens every time something is repeated..

Haha. Perfect — though it may be so that discounting conspiracy theorist(s) is perhaps the biggest conspiracy out there.

Thank you Gina. This was an opportunity to express distaste without malice, so I tried to be forceful, yet empathetic, if that is at all possible..
