That many
people thinking there's something conspiratorial going on
terrifies me, for one, but it is a real issue...
It really is a pity they didn't ask for details, even try to
categorise it. There's the germ of a really interesting oral history
project there, come to think of it; wonder if anyone's doing that?
"Memories of 9/11" won't be in short supply, but contemporary theories
might...
Like many interesting possible sociological questions, this one is
apparently remaining unanswered. A followup poll to find out the
details and characterize the "official story distrust" and so on would
be an excellent project, which as far as I know nobody took on...
I'm sure someone out there in academia has studied the sociology of
populace's belief in conspiracy theories, but it's not a topic I've
found or studied personally.
