I think there is a cover up and some association sensitivities. If that helps.

OK I agree that things are not what they seem, but what is? I mean look at the whole Father Christmas thing - big cover up IMO.....
As for the Twin Towers...
The real truth is probably something totally different from anything we could imagine.
9/11 may have been caused by satanic alien lizards trying to find David Icke after he'd eaten George Bush's hamster....
and some may be offendede by your levels of ignorance.
In social psychology, pluralistic ignorance is a process which involves several members of a group who think that they have different perceptions, beliefs, or attitudes from the rest of the group[1][2]. While they do not endorse the group norm, the dissenting persons behave like the other group members, because they think that the behaviour of the other group members shows that the opinion of the group is unanimous. In other words, because everyone who disagrees behaves as if he or she agrees, all dissenting members think that the norm is endorsed by every group member but themselves. This in turn reinforces their willingness to conform to the group norm rather than express their disagreement. Because of pluralistic ignorance, people may conform to the perceived consensual opinion of a group, instead of thinking and acting on their own perceptions.
Pluralistic ignorance partially explains the bystander effect: the observation that people are more likely to intervene in an emergency situation when alone than when other persons are present. If people monitor the reactions of others in such a situation, they may conclude from the lack of initiative of others that other people think that it is not necessary to intervene. If everyone behaves in this way, no one may take any action, even though some people privately think that they should do something. On the other hand, if one person intervenes, others are more likely to follow and give assistance.
Some people think that pluralistic ignorance explains the happenings in the murder case of Kitty Genovese: about a dozen witnesses failed to help Genovese when she was stabbed to death in 1964. Others do not think that pluralistic ignorance was important in this case, because most of the witnesses only heard the murder (i.e. they were not eye witnesses) and were therefore perhaps unable to monitor the reactions of other people. Nevertheless, pluralistic ignorance explains the inaction of these witnesses, too, if at the time they were reasoning: "Since I can hear the what is happening, others must also hear it; if no one else is doing anything about it, then it must not be an emergency."
[edit] Consequences of Pluralistic Ignorance
In a series of studies conducted to test the effect of pluralistic ignorance, Prentice and Miller[3] studied the consequences of pluralistic ignorance at Princeton University. They found that, on average, private levels of comfort with drinking practices on campus were much lower than the perceived average. In the case of men, they found a shifting of private attitudes toward this perceived norm, a form of cognitive dissonance. Women, on the other hand, were found to have an increased sense of alienation on the campus but lacked the attitude change detected in men, presumably because norms related to alcohol consumption on campus are much more central for men than for women.
JT; cutting and pasting the whole of Wikipedia onto these boards aint gonna impress anybody. Are you looking for some kind of recognition? Well how's about coming up with an original thought that isn't lifted from the internet? It might be acceptable in school these days but not in the real world I'm afraid.
Done any trading today? Or is Sharky paying you a retainer to entertain us?
This is not the place to enquire about my trading activities. Please do not detract from the seriousness of the subject matter. Some may be offended by your light-hearted/village idot type input.
My links, cut and pastes etc. speak for themselves most of the time, and often don't require any further input from me. IMO, i have provided better, more wide-ranging and comprehensive input into this discussion than anyone else has dared to.
I am not trying to pass anything off as my own wording - hence the links/references.
What u want me to do, reword/regurgitate it all into my own words just for the sake of it? If so, get real dude.
