"It's always hard to know why so many people will go to hoax sites and believe absurd stories, without any credible proof, and yet a serious site with ample proof is called by the same people 'a conspiracy theory site'. It must just be easier to believe something fantastical rather than the cold hard truth. A made up story can be ignored most of the day, while a cold hard truth could mean having to do something. And so it seems escapism has triumphed over fact. http://www.fixbayonets.me/2014/02/the-world-according-to-soros.html
