What are people's thoughts on conspiracy theories?

i was 17 when 9/11 happened...the conspiracies were going wild (and still are) about 9/11...a lot of my friends have never fully formulated a well rounded worldview because of conspiracy theories related to that day...we were too young to understand the implications of everything we read or saw about it...

i now have come to the conclusion that conspiracy theories and people who subscribe to these ideas are part of an uneducated populace (speaking on the US specifically)...the education system here in the US is totally fucked, and it's not their fault for having these views...

i think EDUCATION is the single most important thing people should focus on in the next century...
