It's all very interesting, indeed

Although I pretend otherwise, I'm a naturally suspicious person, casually questioning people's motives, assuming the very worst. In my real life I actively try giving people the benefit of the doubt precisely because I don't want that suspicion to turn into outright paranoia. I also try not to buy into wacky conspiracy theories: the grassy knoll, 9/11-related, et al. Sometimes bad things just happen, and don't result from a secret, malicious effort...

I got to thinking about all this after visiting the Cunning Realist, who writes of Pat Tillman's death in Iraq, "it's all more than a bit interesting." I'd say so.
