: No conspiracy, just physics and chemistry modified by economics and
: regulations.

That was my point. People who claim conspiracies usually don't understand the principles behind, and laws governing, what they are talking about.

Just look at the UFO conspiracy theories that abound today. The people who believe these theories can't see were the evidence points. It is easier to scream government cover-up than it is to learn the principles and laws and examine the evidence.

Why would the U.S. military hide any evidence of UFOs from the American People? Ever since the fall of the Soviet Union the military budget in the U.S. has been cut and cut and cut. They need an enemy that they can hold up to the people and say, "this is what is going to get you if you don't give us more money!"

The only thing more absurd than UFO cover-up theories are the Alien Abduction theories!!

I guess this is just a tad off topic!! {:o)
