Ever since the "Third rate" Watergate burglary, I have reserved judgement and operate on a "Nothing is as it appears" (or as they tell us) basis.  

Does that make me a cynic?  You tell me.  

My mind set is that "Up is Down and Down is Up" and what was once bad is now often good (and the reverse). 

Am I prone to believing conspiracy theories?  I know, I'm willing to entertain and discuss them...

Who knows?

Forget it Fred,  it's Chinatown!
