I understand your position, Cotton. I don't think you should expect the general public to make the kinds of distinctions you are making (and I am not saying you are wrong, in fact my own opinions on the subject are in there somewhere) even without a lot of noise from both "sides." When you have people saying things like, "You have to be an idiot to buy the official story," then how can you honestly expect the ordinary person to listen to anything that comes after that? Such statements are as common as claims about the towers being demolished. It's all a big blob of crazy piled on a horrible event, so people just think it's a waste of time to even listen. Many find it offensive outright. I can't say I blame them.

Most Americans have a healthy distrust of the Establishment and know better than to believe everything they are told. Instead of the "truther movement" (or whatever it is) trying to build on that, ordinary citizens see batshit crazy people like Charlie Sheen ranting about it and tune it out. Regardless of what the truth is, you are going to have to deal with reality and that includes opinions and prejudices.
