Case Closed and Paranoia

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Just curious.  Has anyone else read _Case Closed_ by Gerald Posner?  The 
refutation of many conspiracy theories and pundits (Garrison, Lifton, 
Lane, et. al) in the murder of JFK and his claim that Oswald did it 
alone.  Have to admit his arguments are pretty compelling.  What can we 
say about something we all share in some way, here, when folks like Jim 
Garrison get into the act?  Is there "good paranoia" and "bad paranoia"?  
Or if you like:  what is the state of paranoia in this country now that 
it's such a hot item:  X-files and spinoffs, hollywood celebrities 
studying the Kabbalah, Timothy McVeigh-types, e.g.  And what could They 
possibly gain by exploiting those who began their fights, fighting Them?
