In that sense, the idea that there is a malevolent controlling force orchestrating global events is, in a perverse way, comforting."

thats a great quote and a great point. not to mention very true. things like this are what i enjoy in debates. 9/11 was a horrible thing, yet its either so simple, or so complex its literally mind blowing. its like the first time you realize how infinite the universe is, and then how minor our solar system is, let alone our planet, let alone us.
