Hey, we haven't had an "Obama's bogus birth certificate" thread in a while

[Mike Sellers]

Why the stories about Obama's birth certificate will never die.

Here's a quote:

. . . according to several experts in conspiracy theories, and in the psychology of people who believe in conspiracy theories, there's little chance those people who think Obama is barred from the presidency will ever be convinced otherwise. "There's no amount of evidence or data that will change somebody's mind," says Michael Shermer, who is the publisher of Skeptic magazine and a columnist for Scientific American, and who holds an undergraduate and a master's degree in psychology. "The more data you present a person, the more they doubt it ... Once you're committed, especially behaviorally committed or financially committed, the more impossible it becomes to change your mind."

I guess I constitute some of that "little chance." I used to believe there was a conspiracy in the JFK assassination. I've since seen the error of my ways.
