It is somewhat puzzling that such ideas as those about the concentration 
camps can capture the imagination of some intelligent people.  No doubt it 
has much to do with certain aspects of the personality.  There is a person 
on the radio.  I believe he is from Texas who preaches all sorts of bizarre 
conspiracy theories.  His name is Alex Jones.  He apparently has a 
following.  But nothing he says can be substantiated and much of it is out 
of context distortions.  His history is incorrect and his understanding of 
political science is nill.  While it is laughable in one sense it is 
saddening in another.  Thomas Jefferson advocated public education with the 
idea that reason would prevail over fallacy for an educated population. He 
was influenced by the Federalist Papers debate.  I am not so sure that 
education has had an enlightening affect on everyone.  Education does not 
guarantee that intelligent people will not be led astray.  Propaganda is 
extremely powerful.
