What's A Poor Skeptic To Do?

[really?]

Written by Jamy Iam Swiss

A new poll [ http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main ... ults-.html ] was just released by Public Policy Polling, concerning Americans’ belief (and disbelief) in conspiracy theories. This headline from MSN.com tells the story well, especially for skeptics.

True dat.

Among other results, the poll reports that:

21% of voters believe the government covered up a UFO crash at Roswell (27% of Romney voters believe in the cover-up as compared with 16% of Obama voters)

20% of voters believe there is a link between childhood vaccines and autism, 51% do not

13% think Obama is the Antichrist

9% of voters think the government adds fluoride to our water supply for sinister reasons (not just dental health)

7% of voters think the moon landing was faked

5% of voters believe that Paul McCartney actually died in 1966

4% believe that "shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies."

14% of voters believe in Bigfoot

Obama/antichrist : moon landing : Paul McCartney ratio is a bit scary! at least NASA can feel confident they pretty much got away with it!
